Just thought of this and im sure the question has came up before, if I just plan on using the stock braking system from the fox, can I just throw on some 5 lug rotors from a lincoln and call it day for the fronts?

If you get the front rotors from a 84-86 svo mustang there only about $45 each.

The lincoln rotors are about 60-75 each cuz they have the ABS ring. So its pointless to pay more money for an ABS ring which you can use any ways.

The prices i listed above are from local parts stores... like pep boys, auto zone and oriellys

Maybe this will help

I cant say for sure every year lincoln has an ABS ring, but i know the 1990 year does.

Could I maybe modify the center caps, or the dust cap to make it fit, or is that way out of the question?

They may fit with out the dust cap on. Tyler had the same problem, he said that he machined down the rotor where the dust cap mounts ( a lot) but still when he mounted the dust cap, they woulnt fit. I forget what he did. Im guessing he left the dust caps off
