any sn-95 mustangs(94+) front brakes will work.

Do some research, there's a lot more to it.

thanks guys, the only reason i want to do this is that the car came with a set of 5 lug rotors, already drilled and slotted, the front 4 lugs are drilled and slotted also but i dont want two different wheels and i dont have to have two spares.

Edit: would it be okay to just keep the four lug fronts and have five lug rears for a while untill i get all the parts i need...

I don't know if they make drilled and slotted rotors to fit the lincoln mark 7 hub, though.

i dont know where the rotors came from, they just came with the car....

EDIT: by the way the rear end in the car is an 88' 8.8 positrack, does that make any difference in what i need for the conversion

No that shouldn't make a difference.

It is the same brake package as the SVO.


My current issue is, my 10th anny wheels wont fit. I was told just to grind a 45* angle on the hub to make them fit. Is this true? I'm trying to source a SNswap and would like to run the front wheels now.

I would never grind part of my hub. You need whees or a brake set up that fits together properly.
