Just about every question you about modifications has been asked many times before. Most of the best answers are found in http://www.stangnet.com/mustang-forums/808661-technical-thread-how-index.html for all kinds of tech tips and modifications


See http://www.stangnet.com/mustang-for...ug-5-lug-brake-conversion-upgrade-thread.html

and

See 87-93* Ford Fox Body Mustang Brake Upgrades for the best and cheapest brake upgrades and 5 lug swaps. The site doesn't sell anything but some fittings, but the tech notes are great. It tells you what junkyard or remanufactured parts to use to upgrade your brakes. It has almost everything you could want to know about Mustang brakes on it.
