What year car? I know that the front brakes, hubs and spindles will bolt directly into a 68, as that is what I have on mine. I think that there is a bump steer issue using them in the 65-66. Let MS or someone else step in to clarify that. Not sure if any other suspension stuff will fit.

The suspension components will not work. The Granada suspension is basically the same as the 67 & later Mustang. The upper arms while still the same length as the 65/66, they are wider. The lower arms are longerand the steering components are different to match the different pivot points on the suspension.

One of the issues with all Mustang suspensions is that they have a lot of travel, probably to the point of being excessive. As the suspension compresses the tires toe out and under extension toe in. You end up with a huge change in toe from one extreme to the other. The problem with the Granada spindle, like the later Mustang spindle is once the suspension is lowered and toe set to the normal spec, you’re toe in range is extreme. The Granada spindle geometry only agrivates it as the tie rod arms are shorter, less offset and angled in more. Under general cruising it’s not to bad but once the suspension starts to cycle it becomes a issue. Yes you can do things to improve it but not totally fix it.

Granada brakes became very popular swap at a time when there really weren’t too many aftermarket disc brake kits. The ones available were expensive and even by today’s dollar still expensive. Granadas all had disc brakes, a lot of Granada were made and they started to show up in junk yards by the drove. They were cheap and plentiful. Today we have a lot of good inexpensive reproduction factory disc brakes available that are a Saturday afternoon installation. It makes a tough case not to use them.

I’m running 72 disc brakes on my 66 only because I paid $25 for them and I had a new set of rotors on my garage shelf for a couple years. I understood the geometry issues and have addressed them. It drives pretty well. If I wasn’t aware of these problems or how to address them it would be very frustrating. Do yourself a favor and buy a 65/67 KH 4 piston repro kit. Excellent brakes even by today’s standards.

There are a multitude of bumpsteer kits on the market. Careful combining it with R&P steering; geometry way off. Pro-Motorsports kit (best solution) no longer available. Found a vendor whose kit relocates the rack higher up (near oil pan) and rearward to correct bumpsteer.

BTW, auto-correct changes "bumpsteer" to "dumpster". That's funny on many levels...
