Hey everyone, ive been having several close calls with my drum brakes messing up, and due to that fact not having been able to stop properly. Does anyone know the best place to get a power front disc conversion kit?

This one allows you to use SN-95 brakes.

first off i wouldnt do a gradnada swap since the stock disc brakes are better than the granada brakes
1st choice,
just so you know the 68 brake spindles are the same for disc or drum
what i did was get the caliper brackets, then got 2 rotors and calipers from autozone, installed it with a az power brake booster and had to convert over to a power brake petal
i also got 97 explorer rear disc and installed them on the rear, so not i have 4 wheel disc brakes, total was under 800 dollars for 4 wheel power disc brakes
Chockostang
(where i got my calipers and caliper brackets)they also sell the complete conversion

Ok, thats pretty interesting. I was looking at a front power upgrade kit for 800 from discbrakeswap.com, but this sounds like a better deal. Do the brakes work really well?
