Brakes Is my caliper piston moving enough?

[opihinalu]

I mean I wasn’t trying to talk you out of fixing a caliper and going with a full brembo 5-lug swap.

ATS brembos and a rear cobra/Taurus setup is what I’d do, but it’s a big project

Thought I read you rebuilt them, oh well, mount the caliper loosely with pads installed open the bleeder with someone pushing on the peddle, if it has a strong flow of fluid replace the caliper, if not replace the brake hose.
Or just do the 5lug swap.

Alright so I did your test general and it turns out it is the caliper, I have a steady flow of brake fluid when bleeding.

I am seriously considering the ATS brembo and I like the idea of the Taurus rear discs. I already have a 5 lug conversion from the previous owner and I am wondering if that means I have to do all the axle work on the rear?

Need pics of what’s out back, but if it’s drums then yes you will need to pull the axle shafts to swap to disks

2nd video reminds me of something, I can almost put my tongue on it. It'll come to me eventually.

Does anyone know what length driveshaft I would need for a 8.8 rear paired to an AOD? Or any way I could find this info?

I can tell you that the FRPP aluminum driveshaft (397-M-4602-G) for 79-95 Mustang 5.0L with T5, SROD, C4 or AOD transmission and 7.5'' or 8.8'' rear end is 45.5" center to center. By center to center I mean where the U-joints install into the driveshaft.
