A long time ago, before kids, I started to collect parts for a Scarebird kit but even up parking the car for too long. Recently getting it back to where I can work on it, I priced out all the parts for it. At the same time I discovered the Invincibleextremes Musclecar kit (linked previously). While for me the adaptors were more than the Scarebird (Canadian $ plus shipping) I think it's a better value.

As it uses 2005 and up mustang rotors and calipers, braking goes from Scarebirds single piston calipers and 11.75 inch rotors to mustangs dual piston calipers (or Brembo options) with a variety of rotors from 11.5 to 13.5 (or so) and up. You must run wheels larger than 15 inches is the hiccup. I wants going to with 15s so for me having the option to go big for the same price made more sense.

Parts were cheap/free as mustang owners upgrade to Brembos and want to give they're old junk away!

I've not got it complete yet, but I assume it will stop like a modern ish mustang which is fine with me. Plus napa, rock auto etc has replacements at better prices than the parts for a Scarebird part list

Yep, no dice for me since I'm keeping my 15" Magnums...
 
Leed brakes has a kit that mounts to the drum brake knuckle, I have not used it but have heard good things about them.
