i just bought those stock rotors with veins

Do you mean the vented rotors that DeTomaso used on the Euro GTS cars? They have been unobtainium for some time now.

There are vented rotors that are a direct replacement as found on the 65-67 Mustang - is that what you bought?

I ask because if you bought larger than stock diameter rotors, you have complicated your replacement caliper project.

There is nothing wrong with the stock calipers for a stock, normally street driven car. They can be cheaply rebuilt, or exchanged for rebuilt units from at least one of our vendors.

Upgrading to the R4S compound brake pads from Porterfield will provide amazing and quite adequate braking performance.

If you go to the vendors for aftermarket calipers, be sure to take your VISA.

Rebuilding the calipers with vendor-supplied kits, Porterfield pads and your new (stock sized??) rotors will give a very good system.
