87-88 turbocoupe rear end for the rear disc brakes and I believe the 94-95 gt rears also work. 87-88 turbo coupe are 3/4 " longer each end though cuz of the abs on it but it does work.

yeah but you become 5 lug.... i want to stay 4lug. That's why i dont want to take the 94 rear brakes. I know the thunderbird turbo coupe brakes work but i wanted to know what you guys that have modded stang put as brakes. I want to do my brakes in the idea of having a 400hp stang. what do you guys have???

most of us have factory brakes and when we do a disc brake swap many of us convert to five lug.

and how do you plan to make 400 hp?

its not for now...but im think of upgrading injectors,cam,change the flywheel, and then probobly a kenne bell supercharge.

hotrodseth · May 26th, 2008, 04:24 PM

Baker · May 26th, 2008, 07:34 PM

79-93 5 Lug Ford Fox Body Mustang Conversions hopefully that helps. it shouldnt be that expensive going through a junkyard for your parts

shadowgames81 · May 26th, 2008, 08:56 PM

you can all the parts for a 5 lug swap from the junkyard for as much as you would a 4lug disc setup if not for cheaper.
