5 Lug Question

[TOOLOW91]

grabbing 94-95 spindles , going to stay drum out back for now . Questjon is can I run the stock master, booster and prop valve setup with 99-04 front pbrs?

 

[Mustang5L5]

Yes, only because there is no other MC to run for that setup.

Thank you for that , there is alot of info there ... seems like I should bite the bullet and do it all front and rear and never look back

Might as well do it right the first time around...

Yup. Get it all done while your under there.

 

[Shakerhood]

Yep, do it all the 1st time.

well, i did the exact thing. kept drum out back for now, did 02 spindles, 02 ball joints, pbr calipers. stock style fox master/booster. the car never stopped right. overly soft pedal. i bled everything right and.it stopped worse than stock fox. i bought a new master and new(reman) booster from 95. this started a domino, i ended up ditching stock valve, putting in all new lines, a ford racing prop valve, . all i have left to do is add rear disc. the car is setup for it but since it stops on a dime, it can wait

On my 86 Gt I did a five lug swap. Here is what I have:

95 Front spindles and rotors
rear disc brake setup from a 98 Cobra
Dutchman 5 Lug Axles
373 and posi out of a 98 Cobra
99-04 PB front and rear Calipers
BBK Upper and Lower control arms
95 Brake Booster
Bear Brakes master Cylinder Kit
I modified my stock proportioning valve by taking the seal out and and using a Bear brakes portioning valve
Eibach pro kit springs
Tokico Blue Shocks

I have pics and advice on how to install a 95 brake booster without beating your strut tower brace to hell. Any questions or want to see pics let me know.

post em up in here any advice and tips are always welcomed - did you swap the whole rear or just use North race cars brackets ? I wanna keep fox length axles

 

[lxman]

I used a stock 88 form a fox. welded my axle tubes to the pumpkin the sent it out and got it powdercoated black. and I have a Ford Racing aluminum diff cover.

 

[lxman]

I will have to take some pics of the front and brak master cylinder and stuff

 

[lxman]

The brake lines i9n the pic are mocked up I changed them out. I dont have the Eibachs in the rear yet in the pics cuz i hadnt rolled the fenders yet. I am running 17x10.5 with 275/40/17 tires.

I could start a thread on how to do this if people really wanted it. Especially to show that you dont have to beat to hell your strut tower to put a 95 brake booster it.

You can save some money and just modify SN95 rear caliper brackets. I haven't tried it yet because I'm still rounding up parts.

What will cutting the bracket up gane you? I dont see how that would get you anywhere. Im curious on this one. Always will to learn new things.

There was a write up on that modification to the bracket a while back. I am a little apprehensive about doing it but someone on here has had success with it. I would rather spend the money on Northern racing brackets and be done with it.

Cutting the bracket allows you to install each bracket on the opposite side of the car. Installing them that way, gives the bracket the correct spacing for the calipers.

It works well and I've never heard anyone say there's been a problem doing this, however....

I'm with this guy.
