Suspenion, Rear-end,and brakes....


Hey guys I have a 89 5.0 Mustang thats basically stock except for basic motor bolt ons and TKO 600 with alum. drivshaft, LW bellhousing, but want to get, my brakes, suspenion, and my rear-end built before I put some serious power to it. I have been wanting to beef up my suspenion and rear end as well as going to 5-lug with disc brakes all around for a while now...How does anyone suggest I do this. I have already bought kyb struts, shocks with steeda springs, steeda caster/camber plates along with their bump steer kit. I also have a complete set of poly-bushings for the entire car. What should I get?

Summit sells a nice rear disc brake kit made by SSBC that is available in 4 or 5 lug. Add some good control arms to the rear and you will have a pretty good set up.

yeah get upper/lower rear control arms and why are you doing the 5 lug conversion? wheel choice? because you dont need 5 lugs to handle alot of power...i know people who launch at 5k on a trans brake and run 10's on a 4 lug setup haha
