i own a 1965 mustang and im trying to buy a disk break converter kit because i have drum breaks. my wheels only have 4 lugnuts and ALL the kits im looking at it shows 5 lugnuts so they wouldnt fit my car, do kits with 4 lugnuts exist? or do i have a problem and could i get disk breaks other wise.

 

There are some kits for 4 lug.

scarebird makes an adapter kit to where you could do it. There are some others, but they are pretty expensive.

You could just get an 8 inch rear end with 5 lug drum and then the 5 lug front disc brakes. Then not only would it be better and safer, but you could run alot of differen't wheels too.

Your wheels options would increase substantially.

 

If you want to stay 4 lug go with the Scarebird kit, that way you know exactly what you have and can get replacement parts at any part store. There are other 4 lug kits out there , Stainless Steel Brake for one, but they are high $$$$.

 

Why do you feel you need disc brakes? How often/hard do you drive the car? I drove around my v8 car with 4 wheel drums for several years before I switched. I'm not saying that discs aren't a great thing, but you should consider whether or not you really need them. A properly adjusted drum system should work ok for an I6 car that doesn't get driven hard.

 

tad is right, the i6 car doesnt really need a disk brake. although they are safer and better.

you could find a 8" rearend pretty cheap, and rebuilding the front suspension isnt hard at all. and that way, if you ever decide to swap to a v8 later, the suspension will already be done.
