Question Front rotor upgrade?!?!

Anyone know of an aftermaket preformance rotor for the late 80's early 90's I-beam suspension Rangers.I've got a Ext. cab 91' with a 5.0 conversion, and those stock brakes just don't cut it with that extra weight up front.It can get hairy at times.Any leads would be great.[EMAIL=benarice([b]No Email Addresses In Posts![/b])]

Here is one place to try. http://www.stainlesssteelbrakes.com

There are several places and the above is the only one I can think of at this time.

Front rotor upgrade?!?!

Thanks for the help.Unfortunately S.S.B only showed a rear disc conversion for the rangers,and I could'nt find any front replacement rotors at Jegs either.Mabey I'm not looking hard enough?I am searching for a bolt on replacement for the time being right now because in the future(when I finish up other projects and get $$$$) I'm swapping the front suspension for a Mustang 2 Setup with coil overs.I've called up a few places like Areospace Tech. and the sort, but it was very spendy and I would have to send them the hub and rotor assembly for them to machine it.Thanks again guys.
Ben

I don't know this but I'd be willing to bet that ford used the spidle on more than just the ranger . Which is why I was thinging Jegs. Maybe some one here knows of a cross reference.
