Default E Series big brakes

Just wanted to make a post about the various brake upgrades people have on their cars.

Post details of what disc and rotor it uses etc.

I recently fitted a Race Brakes Melbourne/Cebco kit.
It uses a 94-04 Mustang Cobra 330mm rotor and the PBR C4 caliper (EL GT, AUII-III premo brakes, Mustang Cobra etc).
The disc is floating and I think uses a trailer hub on the modified EF-EL spindles.

Couple of issues I had with this kit were the Show Wheels Streeter rims a had did not clear the caliper, so I sold them for a set of genuine EL GTs because the GT runs the same caliper, so I'll be fine with them (I thought).
The GT rims rubbed on the spindle just below the upper balljoint.
Wouldn't have happened if they were replica EL GTs
To fix this I used an 8mm slip on spacer, until I can afford some wheels I really like.

Another issue I had was finding out that EA-ED and EF-EL use different spindles and steering rack ends. The later use a shorter rack end and slightly chunkier spindle.

So to stop the massive toe in, some EF-EL rack ends and tie rods were fitted.
Not a huge cost or pain fitting, just an inconvenience.
