Ok,
I recently installed a new to me Golen motor in my DD street oriented XJ and I have run into an issue. Like the title of the thread says I need brakes.
The stockers are marginal with a stock setup XJ, and with the engine in place (and a host of other mods yet to come) the factory brakes are actually scary.
I have read through several dozen differnet threads and I am now only more confused.
Here is what I think I know
1. It will very soon get an Explorer 8.8 w/disks in the rear
2. The wheels will be upsized to 17"
3. It will get dropped +-2" (waiting for the flames)
4. Some people have made Mustang, Crown Vic, Mustang R, Focus, Focus R, front disc/calipers work, but I cannot seem to paint a clear picture in my mind of what parts are needed.
5. ditto WJ setups
Really appreciate any guidence given. FYI I can buy new parts (maybe), or I can scrounge the junkyards, or combinations therein.
