The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Looking at buying brakes-Any advice please?

I am looking at buying some cast iron brakes for my project and saw Mac's has their brakes on sale for 15% off and they are made in the USA. I also have seen Mel Gross' brakes for $260+shipping for all four. However, his are made in China and I was hoping to use American made on my roadster.

Has anybody had any experience with either the American made ones from Mac's or the Chinese made ones from Mel Gross? The cost difference is about $80 and I don't mind shelling out the extra for quality American made brakes.

I am going to replace the entire brake setup, what all do I need to purchase?
Thanks.
