so if i wanted to do a real basic job and a major budget, I need the 5 lug rear axles, if i can't find a set i can get the ones from a ranger. What drums do i use? like from what car for the rear? and what rotors do i get? from a mark right? thanks
ya the mark rotors....ranger/aerostar axles (i beleive BOTH have to be drivers side), and i think the ranger drums.....I just bought the whole kit from 50 resto because i came with all NEW parts, oil, all the bearings and seals, and some directions if ya need em.
The 85 spindle is different than the 87+, and you will need the whole spindle from an 87+ GT, only the v8 spindles will work. And since the 87+ GT spindle is a thinner casting you will need to change the struts too unless you modify the strut bolt holes. Also, you can run longer studs and a 7/8th spacer to run any rim you want. It looks and drives fine and actually pushes the tire away so you dont rub with lowered mustangs. I ran 99 Cobra rims and I could use the center cap and everything, and I had 87 spindles and 5-lug rotors. It did not stick out far.
well i think the whole stock set up can be had cheaply, i'll just find someone who is doing the 5 lug swap and get the stock parts, or i'm sure i can get them easily, if i run the mark rotors do i have to do the 87+upgrade?
if i get the 87+ booster, is it just a bolt up deal? and I might be getting another 4 banger parts car, could anything from a 4 banger be used to upgrade my 85? i don't think it will
