Will disc brakes from a lincoln continental fit a mustang the same as the t-bird turbo coupe? Is it the same setup?

thanks,
Larry

No they are not the same. Tbird is 4 lugs, and Lincolns are 5 lugs. You can make the Mark VII and the old Continetal (the fox based car) brakes work with some modifications since they are the same basic setup as the SVO Mustang.

Right, I know the 5 lug won't work but I did see some 4 lug on an older model. Will this use the same brackets as the t-bird style?

thanks, Larry

I don't ever recall seeing any 4 lug Lincolns. The only ones that "might" have 4 lug are the Fox body based 82 ish Lincoln Continentals, (with the "Caddy Seville like" bumped out trunk) but I'm pretty sure they were all 5 lugs. The Turbo Coupe didn't come around until 87, so anything before then didn't use the same setup.
