    Brake calipers are made by a few companies ------the fronts aren't the problem
    its the rears and balancing them so they don't lock up since the weight transfer/etc is toward the front so they must reduce the rears--and this causes a problem then with trying to get enough brake force for a park/emergency brake on the rears--so the best out was to go to mech shoes for park/emergency brake and a smaller caliper than the front on a disc for the normal brake--butttttttt, disc brakes take more pressure to work so all of them are boosted-now on bigger cammed or supercharger/etc engines lack of vacume!!!!!! so , diesels have some engine driven vacume pumps and some other vehicles use hydraulic pressure from power steering-goes back to Mk3 Lincolns 69-70s--------
    There is a few pics of the Mustang hydroboost in some pics on my gallery for a 32 Ford I build for customer
