Fred;I ran the Granada setup but was never satisfied with the performance.I switched the the Kelsey-Hayes 4 piston discs from a 67 Cyclone,which is the same as any mid size 67 Ford product,I have the same setup on my wagon and they came from a 67 Cougar.So far I am very happy with the way they stop,the calipers are expensive to have rebuilt,verses the Granada,but should not need to be re-done for some time.I know a lot of people with the Granada setup that love them,so I guess I am just too picky!!!
