'96 Brakes

What is a good brake upgrade for a '96 f-150. It has front disks/rear drums. Does anyone know of a good fair priced caliper and rotor upgrade? I checked baer and brembo, but they didnt list prices and I think that they will be expensive. I am only really looking for a front upgrade becaus with the little experience I have, I think that converting rear drums to disks will be a parn

Well the Brembo are a little more but they are worth it. They use over sizes rotors and the Calipers give great feel and stoping distance. There Rotors are hard to warp from heat or over torquing the lug nuts.

If you want rear disk brakes the fastest and easy way is to goto a Junk Yard and buy the whole rearend. It will take you about Half a day to change it out.
