    I was messing around online the other day and stumbled across a Wilwood front disc brake kit that states it is for 1954-1956 Ford cars using the stock spindles. It's pricey (around $800) but it's pretty nice stuff. I'm sure Granada spindles are getting harder to find everyday to perform a junkyard swap, so this may be an option for some people out there. I noticed it was not listed in the FAQ so here's some info. Sorry if it's been discussed before.

    It looks like a a well engineered kit. 4 piston calipers will certainly get the job done.

    I saw that after I got the kit for my car, I would have preferred the Wilwood kit, go for it.

    I have the granada set on mine, but often thought about how nice it would be to have the wilwood. Anyone know if there is an option for Wilwood using the granada spindles?
