    When I got my 71 Comet GT it already had front disc brakes. I'm considering doing the rear disc brake conversion for extra stoping power. Anyone know of some good easy bolt on kits for an 8 inch Ford 5 lug rear end.

    Thanks!!

    Junkyard towncar/explorer kits are the way to go for a budget setup. I have pics of my towncar setup in the new members section in my post. It was a easy bolt on for me since my car is lowered 2". Stock height cars will have to adjust the bolt holes in the bracket to clear the leaf springs.
