Didn't want to hijack 62bigwindow thread and some (ok all) of what GREENBIRD56 had to say got me thinking.

First is there any benefit to multiple piston calipers compared to the single piston floating/sliding calipers on a street car?

I have a set of Granada front spindles, but not sure if I want to use then. In the past always found a set of drums all around to be fine, as long as they were properly adjusted. So...,

I see Wilwood offers their Classic series 4 piston bolt on kits for both the OE 1960 Ford drum brake spindle and also the 1970-73 Mustang with OE disc spindles, but not the Granada. Would the Mustang kit possibly work on the Granada spindles? I know should ask wilwood.

I'd like to go without a booster and have over the years dealt with frozen caliper slides. So that is what prompted the multi piston caliper question.

Thank, Dave
