5 Lug Question

[keith wilson]

I don't know the best place to post this please help tell me where I need to post stuff like this. I can't find a tech section to post in. Anyway I'm new and have a question about my car.
I have a 5 lug swap done to my 90 lx 5.0 but I bought it like this and idk what they used for the front but it looks like the lincoln mk7 rotors and hub and looks like stock calipers as well. My question is I can get a deal on some 94 sn95 drilled and slotted rotors for the front but will they fit? If it does have the mk7 front hub and rotors will those sn95 rotors fit? And if anybody knows what the dimensions are for the 94 rotors and the mk7 rotors like what are the differences in size and back spacing and all of the two rotors. I can't find any info nowhere.
All I know is the sn95 rotors are like almost 11". The ones on my car look like about 11" and the ones I ordered for sn95 says they are like 10.87" and have a hub hole of 2.80".

mk7 rotors are identical to fox rotors except they are 5 lug. To use 94 rotors you'll need 94-95 spindles which will then require you to use the better 94-95 calipers or 99-04 dual pistons if you choose to .

I was just hoping since mine is already 5 lug that the sn95 rotors would go on.

And if I do change it then if I use all the sn stuff can I use the 99 calipers with it or will I have to get the stuff from the 99-04 in order to use 99-04 dual piston calipers?

99-04 stuff pushes the wheel out way to far . 94-95 spindles with the 99-04 front calipers is no issue. You just need to trim the spindle a hair to clear the caliper. With changing the calipers you will need the correct master and booster to compensate.

You've got some research ahead of you if you want to swap to SN95 stuff. Requires spindle swaps, master cylinder and booster changes, and a rear disk brake upgrade as well. The info has been covered hundreds of times and is a simple search away


Honestly, it's a lot of work to simple run drilled and slotted rotors, which look pretty but offer no braking performance upgrade at all. If your motivation to change is simply for the rotors, then it's not a good reason IMHO
