87-93 Mustang rear disk brake swap

[wickedblkgt]

Tips, pointers, what should I buy/ not buy, help please???

SSBC Makes a really nice kit that we use. The only "problem" is sometimes the rear rotors have to be machined to clear your axles.

If you already have wheels picked out or purchased then that will determine if you need fox length axles or if you can get away with a whole rear end from a 94-98 or depending on wheels maybe even a 99-04 rear end.

Or you can do it all at once in a whole kit, but not cheap...

Ya, I have some old Steeda Ultralite rims that I was going to have powder coated black to match the car. I was going to do it all at once, Eibach springs, Koni adjustable shocks, 5 lug conversion, and rear disk brakes. Is there a kit out there that is the 5 lug conversion and disk brake upgrade all in one kit???? I also need to change the power brake booster. If I'm going to up grade to disk brakes in the rear, I herd people are using a 93 Cobra brake booster and master cylinder because it is bigger than stock. What are your thoughts???

The brake booster depends on a lot of factors. Master cylinder, brake pads, tires, pedal feel. I have a car with the 2.3l booster and cobra brakes all around and it feels perfect IMO.

I'd say the booster isn't quite as important as the master cylinder being properly sized to the calipers. I did cobra brakes all around on mine, and the rear was already cobra disk due to my IRS. I linked a kit above in my last post, just click on the word kit... It comes with everything you need for the most part assuming you have/want 28 spline axles. They also have a 31 spline kit if you have/need that.

And a bump steer kit too.

Thanks guys, thought I would drop a pic of the car.

You should go over to the corral and do some research, someone and I forget who, makes a bracket so that you can use a SN95 caliper with a Fox length axle. If you can do that then all you need are the brakes off of the back of an SN95 unless you want the Cobra shit. And a lot of those parts can be ordered aftermarket from Rockauto.com for surprisingly cheap.

I used the axles and brakes off of a 96 with no issues on a 90 GT. I also used S197 Bullitts and the fitment was perfect.
