There isnt any rear disc conversions that i know of. Even the 93 Cobra got a turbo coupe rear, with turbo coupe axles (same width as an SN95).

Also, in addition to the SVO brake calipers Stangpower96 brought up. People are quick to forget that the Lincoln Mark VII and the SVO share the same brakes. Im doing a Mark VII swap in my car shortly, basically when i get some more money under my belt, and can buy some performance pads and brake lines.

The Mark/SVO calipers up front have a 73mm piston opposed to the 60mm that your mustang has stock.

Also, it would be in your best interest to pick up an SVO master cylinder, it has a larger bore to help with the fluid demand of the larger piston calipers, and the rear disks.

But the svo mc does not have the provision for the fluid sensor unlike the 93 cobra and the 94-95 v6/gt Master cylinder.And there is a company that does make brackets where you can run ranger lentgh axles and use rear disc..

Its not all that important though, since it only comes on if youre low, and usually, you know if your fluid is low.

You can get away with the sn95 axels if you run a 8" wide wheel or ever a 9" wheel with more backspacing. If you don't get the backspacing right you will rub your fender a bit.

Should of just started a new thread, but anyways...


That centercap, will it push in or is it being held out by something? With the lincoln rotors the centercap's won't fit. If it has the sn95 stuff the center cap will fit. (with the bullitts)
