    j and v - you're saying that i should take the rubber brake lines fully intact and i'm assuming you're suggesting to modify my stang hard lines to accommodate the TC rubber lines? is there an easy way to test the calipers? obviously if it's still a complete system i could just pull the e...

    Clutch/Flywheel Repairs and possible upgrades

    what i was asking was about the escort FW and how it will effect the mustang be it performance or otherwise. Its supposed to free up about "10-12" hp because of the lower rotating weight. also i was asking if using the escort FW was as simple as exchanging one for the other with the...

    Rear Axle Upgrades

    cool! at this point i'm assuming that the sn95 8.8 rears are more common and hopefully the brake hardware from the 87-93 stuff will bolt up to the rear axle housing from an sn95. from what i read the axle housings are the same length from 87-98, maybe even the 99+ ones too but i'm not sure on...

    Rear Axle Upgrades

    based on what i've read my car has 10" disk brakes up front. if i were to use the 10" discs off the 87-88 TC for the rear, do you still think they wouldn't fit?

    Rear Axle Upgrades

    i haven't been able to find an answer to this but if i were to use the stock TC rear discs would they fit in the 14" wheels or would i have to use the drums?

    Rear Axle Upgrades

    so what you're saying is that if i want to use my current stock wheels and tires i would have to use a TC rear? since you said all mustang 8.8's used 28 spline does that mean that my stock axles would fit in either TC or 94-98 8.8 rear but the problem is that the drum/braking assembly...

    Rear Axle Upgrades

    ok it's been a while but i'm trying to decide if it is worth it for me to do some repairs/upgrades to my mustang's rear axle. from what i read the 87-88 TC have the 8.8 rear with 4 lug and discs which would allow me to use my current stock wheels. i'm pretty sure that the 8.8 rears from...

    no i can't because i didn't have it insured since my friend said he was gonna park it in the garage or the parking lot for his appartments and in california you don't need insurance if it's there, besides it's a little town and i wouldn't have expected this $hit but that's what happened when he...
