already answered it

ORIGINAL: SPE926

the turbocoupe and svo are 2 different cars

the svo 84-86 brakes will swap over but the axles are even wider than the sn95 ones and require specially offset whells but it will swap as long as you swap all the hardware and axles

the turbocoupe 87-88 is 4 lug rear disks and also will swap over in the same manner as the svo brakes.

not without major rubbing the svo axles are about another 3/4 of an inch longer thab the sn95 axles, you can get away with 17x8 but 17x9 will rub. the s197 wheels are the same offset so you could get a set of 05-06 gt tajeoff wheels and be good

i heard somewhere that the turbo coupe rear will bolt right up. it's just a little wider.. like.. an inch or so.. but i think all the mountings and the upper and lower control arms are the same as a stang.... you will also have to re route the brake line becuase the splitter for the rear brakes is on the axle tube right around the same area as the tail pipe on a stang. if you got dumps you will be all set. if not you will have to move the splitter because of an issue with the tailpipe hitting on the splitter on certian bumps. just my $.02
