    Upgrading my 64 1/2 mustangs brakes.

    My cars a factory 289 c4 auto factory air. I want to upgrade my brakes. Looking to use the mustang Steve front and rear kit. I'm wondering which brake boosters best and master cylinder. I want a non overly firm Pedel. I really like the stock travel amount of the Pedel but want more power. So I'm thinking I want to use the 2.3l booster with a 98 v6 master and proportioning valve and ideas. I like the Pedel feel in my 87 f150 super can long bed

    Check out http://www.mustangsteve.com/BRAKES for the booster.  It is the only one that has the pedal ratio change built into the pedal so the booster can bolt up flat against the firewall.  Plus it uses a Ford booster so you can get a replacement 20 years from now if needed.

    Edited the link, so it should work now.
