4-Lug Rear Discs
Does anyone know if Ford makes a 4-lug rear disc conversion for the 87'-93'. I know they make a 5-lug. The 2000 Motorsport catalog doesn't list any 4-lug kit but I'm pretty sure I remember seeing this kit somewhere. Please help. I would go with the 5-lug, but I'm planning on using '93 Cobra rims which are 4-lug. Thanks!!

Stainless steel brake company sells it and PST, Brothers and a couple of others sell it for about $700 for your car. It took me a day to put it on and I am really slow. The kit for your car comes with a master cylinder so it is a bit more expensive. It made a big diff. in the way it stopped. Let me know if you have any install questions.

You can use the 1987-88 Thunderbird Turbocoupe rear end. They are four lug with 10" disc brakes. They also have 3.55s or 3.73s already installed from the factory. I got mine from the junkyard for around $200 but a lot of people on the message boards have found them cheaper. I believe the 1993 Cobras have the same rear end as the TCs but it would be hard finding one of those. Hope this helps.

When doing the SSBC rear disc conversion, don't use that crappy 1986 master cylinder they give you. It's ugly and a waste of time. Besides it looking like crap, you can't keep the low brake warning switch hooked up. I wonder who designed this kit for them, Stevie Wonder maybe? Keep your stock m/c and get the FRPP power brake booster from Ford. My brakes before barely stopped the car with that '86 M/C, but since putting in the bigger power booster and going back to the stock m/c, they stop on a dime. I now feel better that my brake warning lite works again. It's a shame SSBC's customer service never tells you this. They were so interested in me as a customer that they never even responded to my e-mails/phone calls. I've seen at least a half dozen cars that needed this fix. One other thing to do is replace the pads they give you with Performance Friction pads from AutoZone. A sh*tload less dust.
