Title: 65 K Code front suspension
Post by: mdelco1 on September 01, 2025, 01:44:27 PM
Good Afternoon ,

I am restoring a 65 K code ( orig motor not in the vehicle). Everything else is original.  I and want to upgrade the front suspension and include disk brakes all around. Can some one point me in the right direction as to either the best kits and or source for the needed upgrade.

Many thanks in advance for any help

You wrote front but did you mean by "upgrade the front suspension and include disk brakes all around" that you are going to put disc brakes in the rear too? That would be overkill and a much higher expense on a car where as you say " Everything else is original". If front discs like original is the case than here is a link to just one of possible multiple option set ups. It is like the stock one . https://www.npdlink.com/product/ssbc-disc-brake-conversion-kit-front-drum-to/147949     . You will also have to purchase a master cylinder.

For these modifications suggest you post on a site like VMF Vintage Mustang Forum. You'll find hundreds or more thread from people asking just the same question and a lot more owners that have made the change.
