With todays traffic congestion and immigrant drivers who just can't comply with the traffic rules here, I want maximum stopping power in the 56. Would this application work in my 56 Niagara ?

Wow that is a good price .
I was looking at Stopem and Dropem site for a kit for my 57 Fairlane it was more than that , but it included 2 1/2 " dropped spindles .

That does look like a good price for the kit. I have Granada spindles and brakes on mine, and spent nearly that 15 years ago. One thing to keep in mind, those hoses look short to me. The front suspension has an enormous travel. The hose need to be rather long to be safe. If you have time, and plenty of junk yards near, look into the Granada spindle way. If you want a kit, this looks as good as any I have seen.

I would not be afraid to give that a try for the price. However You should still add on a new dual MC & an optional power booster, So…The bits and pieces add up.
But like I've said before. Stopping's good.

Thanks guys. There is apparently several options. I did the Granada swap on my 69 Torino , the biggest challenge turned out to be finding an original porp valve.

I do disc brake upgrades often and I purchase from a supplier that provides the entire system, like SSBC, where you get the brake kit along with MC, Booster & proportioning valve. The last thing you want to do is have a problem and your supplier blames the master cylinder, prop valve or any other doodad not included in what you purchased from him.

oj (or anybody) can you recommend a swap or retailer with a swap INCLUDING master cylinder for a 53 Mercury? thanxxxx
