front suspension conversion
Is stock mustang II 9:25 inch rotors sufficient to stop a car or is it better to go 11 inch gm rotors on a street rod conversion. This has a 350 chevy engine. Is there any problems with a gm 11 inch converesion?

Depends on how much weight you are running, the bigger brakes are better, especially if the car's weight is above 2200 pounds or so. Just my opinion.Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

Bigger brakes are always better. Even though some of the V8 MII's with lots of accessories weighed upward of 3100# it's still a good idea as Dave has pointed out.
One thing to be aware of, some of the big brake setups will add up to 3/4" in track per side. Doesn't sound like much, but if your wheel offset puts you close before the swap it can be a problem. Check before you buy.Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.
