rear disc brake /c-clip eliminator
 
Hello, I'm in the rear axle beefing up process and I need some advise concerning the following:

I would like to replace stock axle with Moser 31 spline for durability, at the same time I'm looking for a rear disc brake upgrade ( 90 5.0 lx) I thinks Lincoln part can be used but I'm not sure can somebody help with that or should I stick with a conversion kit like those from ssbrake?

If I'M right I also need c-clip eliminator for car runing under 11.99, is those fit with disc brake?

Last thinks, I'm sure this have been discussed a lot in the past, it is concerning locker / limited slip diff. The car will be used on the street and on the track, I'm concidering Auburn pro locker or Powertrax lock right. Any other idea?

Thanks

seems to me most c-clip eliminators are for dumb-brake set-ups,

if your going the disc-brake route, chop the housing ends off and have some 9-inch bearing ends installed, they'll be alot toughter than c-clip eliminators. At one time before I wussed out on my 8.8 and went drum/c-clip elimators, I had given some thought to using 9 inch ends and explorer rear discs. If I remeber correctly? Curry had the parts to do it.

Im not sure about using a stock style rear disc with the c-clip eliminators. However my strange axle package with the eliminators worked just fine with the aerospace brakes. Neither c-clip eliminators or the aerospace drag brakes are designed for street use, so I wouldnt recommend this route if this is a street car. If you contact Strange they will give you all the information necessary for choosing the right disc brake setup.
