I have their kit on my 66 and it worked out great.  I would recomend getting new prebent lines or making your own to replace the old worn out lines.  Also if you go with the swap 1 kit you do not need to use the suppplied L bracket, the original one is in the correct location (I learned the hard way = extra holes).  Good luck this is a well worth while upgrade.

jmoudry, have you ever needed to replace the pads?  will the average parts store granada pads work? just curious, I havent got that far yet!

I have only had the kit for a few months now so I have not needed to change the pads.  The calipers on the swap 1 kit are the same as what was used on the vintage mustang disc brake upgraded cars.  Pads can be ordered through most mustang catalogs.
