90 Mercury Sable. I've decided to get 24 front and 26 rear antiroll bars (BTW thanks for the help with the lowering springs guys) and skip lowering springs. And since I now have a decent job which I hope to hold for a while I'm thinking about upgrading things on the SuperSable. I'm thinking about purchasing 17 inch rims. Along with that I'd like to upgrade my brakes while I'm at it. Whats the biggest size I can put up front? Off of what year SHO? Do I need to change calipers? Whats size is the biggest OEM rotor I can choose?

I'd also like to change my rear drums to rotors. What can I put their? What do I need to buy? Calipers? Wheel Cylinders? Where can I find tese parts for a good price?

Sorry everyone. I used search and it came up with 145 results but not all were specific and I'm at work right now so gotta make things snappy. I'd like the car to stop decent. Believe it or not it's pretty decent now but Id like it better since I believe in keeping my safety. The susp. comp. I currently have, already helped me with a few situations. Thanks guys/gals.

You will need the claipers, brackets, mounting plates (to the hub) is the hub for a drum will exept the backing plates.

Ill send you the entire set up for 200

Okay let's see if I can make out your words. I would need calipers, brackets, mounting plates if the hub for my drums will except backing plates? So I would need all of the above for the front brakes including the rotors, pads of course. Not to insult you but is $200 a good price for a set? You're talking about all 4 wheels correct?

Sorry your statement was kinda confrusing. Besides your avatar distracts me. eek!

So I can also put on Thunderbird brakes which are 11.2 "? I'd need 17" rims for that correct? Does anyone have an IM to help me out directly instead of posting? Just an idea if anyone has some time on their hands.
