Go onto ebay or craigslist. People are always selling sn-95 rear brakes and axles which you can swap onto your car. Then you just have to get a new master cylinder. Can be done for under $400. Just find something like this ( http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/pts/503092512.html..local in my area).. then pick up some 5 lug wheels on craigslist for cheap and you got it.If you are interested in something new and something that is 4 lug then ssbrakes.com makes a rear conversion kit for 4 lug. Basically this kit is the same as the rears that come on the SVO.

Ummm no! The svo came with larger 5 lug disks while the turbocoupe came with smaller 4 lug disks which is what the kit is. The turbocoupe and the 93 Cobra have the same rear brakes.

Actually smart *ss the rotors are the same size on the SVO also the calipers are similar design. I said "basically" as in I knew they were only 4-lug but the brake design was basically the same. Obviously I knew that the SVO's were five lug. Thebrake setupfor sale on craigslist that I linked above is out of an SVO.If you talk to SSBC they will tell you the exact same thing I said. I knew I should have been more specific for people like you.

I have an svo and have had a mustang with turbocoupe rear brakes and the svo brakes are about an inch bigger in diameter. Maybe the ssbc kit has larger than stock rotors which if that is the fact I am wrong but stock vs. stock they are not the same size
