61SPEEDYBIRD Journeyman Posts: 8 From: CAMAS,WASHINGTON,USA Registered: May 2001	posted 06-05-2001 09:10 PM I'd like to change my brake setup to power disc. Is there a vehicle out there that will work with minimal trouble. Thanks, Scott IP: Logged

I have recently seen 4 bolt discs in mag ads i'll see if i can find it. You may also want to buy a ford parts exchange manual from the parts store. ------------------ WAYNE CURTIS 70 GRABBER GREEN BOSS 302 01 Focus ZX3 "Spicy" 92 SHELBY 4X4 (K-9 IDITAROD LEAD DOG) http://www.volstate.net/~blackoak/stormwatch.html "If your under control then your not going fast enough" P.

I run them on my Maverick, and on such a light car the big Granada discs work excellent. I suggest trying the discs first and then going power if you still aren't satisfied because changing from drum to discs is a big step. IP: Logged
