Switching over to 5-lug!
Does anyone know of whos rotors I can you use in the front of my 92 Mustang to convert over to 5-lug with out having to switch spindles? I would want to have a Ford production rotors from any year but not lose any stoping power (gain would be cool). The catch is, I still want to run 15 inch wheels. (Weld Aluma Stars).
Any help would be greatly appreciative. Thanks |

85-86 Lincoln Mark Series is what you want. You can use your stock calipers and pads, spindles and everything. Bearings seals, everthing is the same and these rotors are low cost as well.

No problem I ran into problems when I did my swap because of the wheels i used (98 Cobras). Mine wouldnt just bolt up to my rotors so I had to machine the rotors and make a spacer so I try to offer any info I have when I can.

I purchased a drag brake kit through Wilwood. Great breaking with a 4 piston caliper. Clears my 15" Bogarts without a problem too! Attached is a pic...

you can order new 5-lug rotors right from ford or a ford parts dealer for not very much. Thats what i need. I also got the new 5-lug alxes it ended up costing like 350 for all of it from CJ pony parts.
