    Has anyone used the newer mustang 2 Piston calipers with the granada setup? I see it's easy to make a bracket and have them work, and I'm planning to do it
    Questions:

    1) Will the stock manual master cylinder (i believe it has a 15/16" bore?) be sufficient?
    2) For those who have done this, how do you like it? I'm looking for better brake actuation, clamping power with R4-S pads is more than sufficient with the current calipers, so as long as it's comparable.

    This seems to be lightly treaded territory. Once I do it I shall report back on my findings, so others with the granada setup can learn from my successes and (hopefully few) failures. If anyone wishes, I can even do a writeup with pictures.

    Sounds like something I might be interest to me.

    Excellent. I received the calipers today, and I am VERY impressed by their design and size. These will be a great upgrade over the outdated granada design for sure. I will start a separate writeup thread after I've completed the job. It will probably be a month or two before that happens
