They will aid in preventing "brake pull" which is a common Fox issue..............money well spent but they do require more frequent lubing to prevent seizure (couple times a season is lots).

A set of quality rotors combined with Hawk pads and SS brake lines makes a huge difference. I've had excellent results using drilled rotors.

Definitely get the caliper sleeves, and the SS lines are also a good bet.

I'm using these along with 73mm calipers and Wagner pads on stock rotors (couldn't get Hawk pads at the time.. I'll get them along with new rotors soon), and I really like the increase in braking power. It's just about adequate for a stock-ish mustang.. no more, no less.

Although getting the M-2300K kit *is* a nice dream..

i have buy a set of SS earl's brake line , im suppose to have in about a week or two , so the SS sleeve will be a nice add-on !

Those were my exact thoughts after taking my first corner in the Mustang.. thankfully things are much better -much SAFER- now.

the cheapest fix would be to get a set of pads that can take the heat and flush your entire brake fluid and get a set of braided caliper flex lines cause the stock rubber flex lines will heat up and expand under high speed braking.

I decided to do that when my master cylinder went (filled booster full of brake fluid), put in that Valvoline (would have been mobil if I could have found some) Synthetic brake fluid and some decent carbon-metallic pads, made a big difference, still doesn't stop like my F-250 but its a lot better.
