I'm planning to replace the stock brakes on my 1970s Mustang with a higher‑performance setup. I want better stopping power and pedal feel, but I'm also mindful of maintaining a period‑correct look and staying within a reasonable budget. What should I look for in terms of rotor size, caliper type, pad material, and overall compatibility? How do you balance performance with authenticity? Thanks!
When selecting a brake upgrade for a classic muscle car, which criteria matter most?

I upgraded my ’73 Mustang with 11‑inch vented rotors and a dual‑piston caliper that uses period‑style aluminum hats, which gave me a much stronger bite while keeping the classic look. Pairing those rotors with semi‑metallic pads gives solid pedal feel without blowing the budget.
