Default Rear Disc Swap

I have the 5 lug axles already, and just purchased a rear 5 lug disc setup off of ebay. Description as follows:
"left and right side,rear ,calipers,rotors,dust sheilds, brake lines,mounting brackets,hardware,e- brake cables everything except the axles from a of a 1994 mustang gt. everything is there for your 5-lug rear conversion except the axles for your 87-93 fox body mustang. everything is in great shape.!!!"
Will I need anything else for this conversion, I got it all in last week and would like to put it in this weekend, but don't want to get started if I don't have all the parts needed.

Default RE: Rear Disc Swap

not sure but you might need a new master cylinder with discs front and back. maybe someone else can answer this one for sure. you also need a new adjustable proportioning valve to balance the pressure from front to rear to get the right balance on the braking. don't believe the stock one will adjust enough for rear disks. I'd change the axle grease seals while I was at it too since you'll have the axles out anyway. you know you have to pull the differential cover to release the c-clips holding the axles in don't you? this means you need some new rear end oil and a cover gasket too. don't forget the oil additive too if you have a posi.
