Big Brakes on a not-so-big Budget? YEP

I have the 14-inch TCE front brakes on my Marauder and I love them but my 01 CV is seriously under braked for a supercharged car. Does anyone know if this setup will fit on a Crown Vic?

You have a cast steel spindle with only one known brake upgrade kit which costs over 3k I think.

You can do Like I did and modify the spindle to accept CTS-V calipers and GT500 rotors.

The current 03+ kits will not.

However I have an earlier iron spindle here for another project and data from that for production of full size larger kits if you wish to go that way.

Not sure I'll really put them on the menu as kits beyond this custom as most of the older cars retain the 17" steel wheels and I'm not sure the work is worth the expense in the end. But.. if you have 18 or more I'm sure we can work something out.
 
Interestingly, the car originally was built with Brembos on the front. Some previous owner took them off and substituted some solid rotors and a brake pad compound that creates more dust then you could possibly believe.

Todd, I'm away on a business trip right now, but I will get in touch when I get back.
