Hey guys. Just got back into town tonight from the heck of a snow storm were getting up here in the NorthWest States. Got myself a set of 275 Cooper Radials so i will see what that does to the rubbing in the rear. As for the front I will take some pictures of where it is hitting on the caliper. Any other pictures that you guys would like me to take? I will get some of the car too to show the project i have been working on all winter n fall.

Uedlose: The rotors are not floaters, they have the studs in them.

WhiteNblack: I do not have my old stang anymore, so i can not swap the parts from it.

I took some pictures. Let me know if you guys can help me out.


I tried using my finger as a spacer to show the space between the tire and wheel wells:




I tried getting some all around pictures of the rear end:









Here are the pics of the front end:



Here i am showing how close the retaining clip is and the retaining clip that is broke off (before i took tire off):




Here is a pic of the damage alread done to the inside of the rim just from pushing it to one garage stall to the other:



Here is a pic of the rotor and caliper itself:



Couple pictures of the project almost done:




Let me know what you guys think. Thanks for all your advice so far!

so it looks like you have the Lincoln front rotors same as I have. Did you trie to flatten out the rattle clip like I said I really dont think you have to have it other then it might rattle some or might squeal some when you hit the brakes. The slides/bolts retain the pad in place. As for the rear have you put it on the ground yet and moved it around yet to see if it moves any.

I haven't taken the car out for a drive cause there is about a 1' of snow here. I have pushed it out of one garage stall and into the other and thats about it and it didn't seem to change the differenece in the rear end at all, which sux cause they fit just fine on my '88 and only rubbed when i hit a hard bump. I don't know what could have possibly changed beings i used my entire rearend out of my '88. Oh well though, got some 275 tires so that should solve it.

As for the front I tried beating the retaining clips flat but not such good luck, i was thinking i might just order a set of 1/8 spacers off the internet. Someone told me to try using a set of washers but i don't know if i like that whole idea. This also sucks about the front end cause the rims n tires fit just fine on my '88 with no problems what so ever, and i swapped the entire k-member to my '91, only thing that is different is that i didn't swap the rotors cause they looked exactly the same, but i guess i was wrong.

Thank you for the advice!
