Just wondering if any of you have done the 4 wheel disc/5 lug conversion before. I want to do it myself, so I was wondering if it is tough to do. I am going to do the SN95 Cobra kit.

Please let me know what you thought about it. Should be easy except I have never bled brakes before.

Link to said kit?

And there's plenty that have done this. They're probably going to tell you to use the search button so be warned...

find a 88 t-bird turbo coupe rear end its a 8.8 and bolts right in 1 inch wider but has not been a problem and i run 245 45 17.It also has 3.55 or 3.73 unless mine had a gear change before i got.And had a local shop weld and drill axles for five bolt only cost me $350 for all.Hope this helps it only took 1 hour to install 2 days to fine tune proportioning valve

I don't think they have a web site. It is the distributor that Tim Matherly uses for a lot of his parts. I searched this many times on different sites, but nobody talks about how tough of a conversion this is, just how to do it.

Thanks for the help though. Not sure I want to do the T-bird route, I have a built rear end I don't want to get rid of.

the ford racing kit that costs two grand?

you can build one via ebay, the junkyard and the corral classifieds for 20% of that price

I just really need a parts list.

I was quoted 1200 bucks for everything.

Went a different route. I got the entire 03 Cobra brake system off of a wrecked one for less than half the money of the Ford kit. It's refurbished too, I just need to paint the calipers.

I want to get this wheel/tire combo http://www.cruizinconceptswholesale....ANDTIREPACKAGE I know what I need to do for the rears to fit, but will a 255 tire on a 17x9 wheel fit on the front without rubbing?

Dj_Seph

It will but you will get rubbing when turned full clock. Nothing a hammer can't fix though. I just pounded in the fender liner a little. Worked like a charm.

And how are you going to get the IRS to work on a fox?
