whats the cheapest way to replace my p.o.s rear drum brakes to disk

 

I just put a Stainless Steel Brake Company rear disk conversion on mine last month...the basic kit is like $700...it is basically a 87-88 Thunderbird Turbo Coupe set up....

Easy install and perfect fit...(I added the power slot rotors)

i used the axles, brackets and rear brakes off an 88 MK VII. it has 5 lug axles so you may not want this setup. junk yard $$ are low.
axles are 3/4" longer than stock mustang. i like that, but it does limit how wide a tire will fit ubder the fender well.

i also went with 13" Cobra rotors in the front, and needed to change the master cylinder to handle the added flow requirements.
may not be a problem with rears only. there are other fixes. some?? ranger pickups t'birds and ????.

scrounging is usually cheaper than the store, if you have the time.

 

Buy an entire turbo coupe rear for $150-200, they have either 3.55's or 3.73's

You do need to change the Master Cylinder if you switch to rear disks...You can by a SVO master cylinder or an 80s Lincoln or Turbo Coupe etc...

I went with the SSBC kit, because I wanted everything new and did not want to deal with old/rusted parts...but to each their own.

 

your gonna find more sn95s than anything

 

If using the sn95 rear brake conversion on ur foxbody stang, do you have to do anything with the axles cause they are longer.? Does it hurt u alot in tire width size.? i'd like to run a 15x10 tire in the rear with a 6.5" bs. with a tire like 275 50 r15. think that would still fit? im' sure alot of u have run something similar!!

 

i believe you gain 1/4 inch on each side

 

oh..lol thats not what you asked.sorry.i need to know this also im wanting to run 17x10.5 out back
