Anyone put all wheel disc brakes on a Fox body? Can you suggest a good kit to do it. I will also be putting on a 5 lug conversion kit at the same time unless of course the disc brake kit comes with the 5 lug already.

1. Use the "search" function on this info. There are plenty of threads on this subject.
2. The 4 wheel disc brake mods (4 lug and 5 lug) are quite popular and highly recommended.
3. There are several "kits" available from Ford Motorsport, Baer, Wilwood, Aerospace Components, Lamb, Stainless Steel Brakes, etc...as well as, "non-kit" versions using available parts from other Ford and Cadillac vehicles.
4. Choosing the one for you will ultimately depend upon your budget, the primary use of the vehicle (street, strip, roadrace, etc.), the overall weight of the vehicle, and also on your driving style.
5. Generally speaking...the larger the rotors, the more pistons on the calipers, and the correct pad compound for your application will yield the best results.
6. Roadracers will often say big brakes will get you better times on the track than a big engine. Don't skimp on your brakes.
He has basically all the conversion info covered. I started out knowing basically nothing about the upgrades, and now I'm helping others put together their "kits". The new part all in one kits may be an easy way to get it all, but be prepared to spend $$$ for it. Piecing together a used part kit will take more time, but you can save 50-75% depending on the deals you find.
