mipedley · 05-07-2007, 05:23 PM

i have an 88 GT but would like to up grade to an aftermarket brake but really dont want to change to 5 lug b/c i just bought a new set of cobra r's for the 4 lug.
Does anyone know if there is a company out there that makes aftermarket calipers that fit a for lug??

thanks mike

Baer makes a kit in 4 lug. Here's a good site with some possible upgrades.

ok so i sold my rims to a guy i work with anyway.
i am now gunn go with the full five lug conversion.
no can i use the 95 GT spindals and calipers. or does it have to be the SN 95 spindals and calipers?
this may be a silly question but does SN 95 stand for cobra?

thanks mike

hey if u wanna do a cheap 5 lug conversion heres how u do it...get rotors from a areostar u have to machine a lil bit off to get to fit via brake drum lath to make the diameter of the rotor a lil smaller and then get 2 right side axels , im pretty sure there right side one side is longer than the other on the areostar but witch ever side it is its the same size axel other than its a five lug...just a lil heads up for some of u guys that wanna do it cheap

Yes, the 95 mustang spindles will work and calipers will work. SN 95 Does not stand for Cobra, I beleive it's just the 94-98 body style description. SVT would signify a Cobra.

I think the SN95 stands for serial number 95 and applies to 1995 and forward until ???.
