me and a buddy just bought a 93 lincolin mark 8 for the same reason

have you done the conversion yet? My mom has a MK8 but i have nvere really looked that close at the axles or brakes. I thought they where IRS?

If all you want is the 4 disc conversion, you can just use the rear brakes from a 87-88 T-Bird turbo coupe, or 93' Cobra. They bolt up. Here is a link with some more info. http://www.sn95brakes.com/4lug.php Not much need for 5 lugs unless you are making a lot of power, or want some fancy rims. A lot of racing rims with 4 lugs.

P.S. If you go 4 discs you will have to get a new master cylinder and proportioning valve.

That is what I was told and I am using the same master and proportioning valve that came on my car *shrugs* I don't have any issues with brake balance *snickers* ask any one who has ridden in my car when I have put the stoppers on hard!!

I have swapped to the 4 discs, and still have on the stock master-c and p-valve. After trying to do some hard braking while going fast, I realized that I need the larger Master-c & p-valve. I can stop well for the most part. But it should be braking a lot better than it does.
