4 lug rear disc brakes
Will the 2.3L Turbo Coupe Rear Disc Brake setup work on a 87-93 Fox body? Are the axles 28 spline just like the 5.0L? Are they the same length as 5.0L? Are the front 4 lug brake rotors and calipers on the 87-93 the same size as the SVO rear brakes? I have a friend who has the axles, rotors, 73mm calipers, brake lines, dust shield and mounting hardware, and he's doing a 5 lug swap and wants to sell me this for the rear of my future project car. The rear diff shouldn't affect this correct?(8.8" vs. 7.5") What are your inputs and what would you pay for it, in good shape? Thanks in advance guys!

Let me clear this up in my head, you are saying that the rear disc brakes on a 84-86 2.3L Turbo Coupe (SVO) are the same setup as the '93 Cobra's? I understand what the specs are on 87-93's. Thanks though, but I'm asking if the rear disc setup from 84-86 2.3L Turbo Coupe (SVO) will mount up to the 87-93? And thanks but I'm not interested in the tbird axles, this kids gonna sell me everything for $80!

the turbo coupe is a thunderbird! the turbo coupe need the turbo coupe axel brackets and tbird axels other wise it will not bolt on. the svo is a mustang the svo used the 5 lug rear disc setup from the lincoln mark7s(1.25 inches wider)

RE: 4 lug rear disc brakes
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.

RE: 4 lug rear disc brakes
I am a dummy! Sorry guys, I got mixed up, I thought the 84-86 SVO's were 2.3L turbo Mustangs, not T Birds. Okay so they are two different rides, sorry! So question is will the 87-88 turbocoupe 4 lug rear discs swap over to a 90-92 5.0L Notch w/ a 8.8" rear diff, and mount onto Cobra R wheels? Thanks
