im wondering if i could buy some rotors and calipers that fit an 87-93 mustangs, and install them on my 86. wouldnt that be just like doing the brake upgrade from the junkyard like everyone talks about (casue 86 fox brakes sucked)? casue i dont want to go out and get used rotors and calipers... so i could buy them new and they would work, eh?

Can't, you need 87-93 5.0 spindles to use the bigger rotor.

I think you can get spindles from a parts store, not sure. If you want better brakes get the 87-93 spindles with the 87-93 rotors, and a 73mm caliper and a master clyinder. Unless you plan on going 5-lug in the future. If thats the case, just hold off on the brakes till then.
