9 Inch Ford Rear Disc Brakes
I need some help. I know that Ford placed disc brakes (rear) on several year models. Has anyone used this route to eliminate the purchase of speciality vendors such as Wilwood? If so, would you have a list of parts you used during the task? Also, what size rear rotors did you use and with what wheel combination. I am building a 55 2 door sedan and would prefer to go this route simply to be able to purchase over the counter replacement pads and other parts - any help will be appreciated. E-mail me at "nick@p-r-c-s,com" if you would lke. Many thanks!
