Default 4 to 5 lug conversion - front rotor question

Will rotors from a '92 Lincoln Mark VIII LS fit a '92 Mustang which has disk brakes and 4 lugs? I was told thats all that I need to convert the front brakes to 5 lugs. I was told the '92 Mustang already came with "big brakes" and the rotor was the only thing I needed to change? Was told the caliper, caliper mounting bracket and spindle where fine and would fit the above referenced rotor. Can anybody confirm this? Thanks for your help!

It's better to use the 1994-95 Mustang GT front spindles and brakes
They are on ebay all the time. Then just run stock SN95 Mustang front rotors.

Very good write up on to do the swap correctly with "junk-yard" parts

yes the rotors will work I have them on my car but I ran into the center of some of the wheels being to small for the rotor but my Monocoque racing wheels fit no problems at all. But I have seen others say they had no problems at all with wheels. it is very simple and cheap bolt on just take your old ones off put the new ones on nothing to change other then the rotors and wheels.
