1986 mustang 2.3L brake upgrade. Can V8 GT brakes/ calipers/ rotors fit on my four banger, do they mount different? mainly i'm doing it for looks but I want more stoping power as well... Also are the SVO calipers and rotors the same as the NA four bangers?
Thanks your help is apreciated

The SVO calipers are 73 mm piston and the rotors are 5 lug.

The 5.0 calipers and rotors are used alot to upgrade the braking of a 4 banger. Here is a link to the install and whats all needed.

I have heard of them, they are in Toronto and from what I hear they have a high quality for the price they are selling them at
