4-Lug Rear Discs

RMARIANI · 01-14-2001, 07:52 AM

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.

I am going to use a set off the rear of an 88 turbo coupe

LOCASH,
do you still have the instructions for the install? I could realy use them, if you don't mind parting with the instructions or a copy of them

Thanks

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.

Hey BLOCKER,I don't have a scanner so I have to mail them to you. PM me with a mailing address if you still want them.

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.
