Hey all.....quick question (and I think I already know the answer).

I bought my car and I'm pretty sure it's had a 5-lug swap done to it. If I'm looking for new rotors.....then I need to be looking at the SN95 rotors, right?

Is it rotors all around? Then its probably a SN95 swap.

I guess you're not talking about a Mark VII rotor/Ranger drum 5 lug swap.

I'm sorry, I have drums in the back. I'm simply looking to upgrade the pads and rotors in the front.....if that helps at all.

That means you have a MK VII/Ranger set up. The only 5 lug rotors I seen like that are the Powerslot and they're like 125 a peice.

Its a possibility they could've put MK VII 73mm calipers on it too, they use different pads.

If they didn't switch the calipers....then what was the stock caliper size (mm) that the '87 Mustang originally came with?

i think its like 65mm or something...vs the 73mm upgrade ones.

if you have the Lincoln conversion then the rotor will have the lugs built in, if its the 94+ mustang conversion then the rotor will slide off of the lugs

If the rotors slide over the wheel studs most likely you need 94-98 rotors. If the studs are pressed into the rotors you prob need the ranger rotors.

Nope the stock caliper is an even smaller 58mm, and to clear up any confusion its a Lincoln rotor not a Ranger rotor.
