Refresh your front brakes in a single order with the Dynamic Friction Company Brake Kit 6512-55040, which combines a DFC brake rotor with DFC 5000 brake pads and a hardware kit. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1968-1973 Ford Mustang, 1970-1971 Ford Ranchero and 1969-1971 Ford Torino, as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
If you are shopping for a brake kit for the 1968-1973 Ford Mustang, getting the rotor, pads and hardware together means you don't have to source each part separately for the front brake job. The disc brake system turns pedal pressure into clamping force at the rotor, so worn pads or rotors affect how the car stops. Replacing the brakes on both sides of the front axle together is recommended for even, balanced braking.
Signs the front brakes may need attention include grinding or squealing when braking, a pulsing pedal, and vibration through the steering wheel during stops. Pads worn thin or rotors that are scored are other signs. Diagnose the cause first, then follow the vehicle service information for installation and torque specifications.
