Hey everybody, 1st post. Just bought an 89GT after having sold my last one 8 years ago to get married. Ill post some pics and stuff later, but right now I need help with the rear brakes. I have used the search alot, but cant find my answer. The car has a rear disc conversion, still 4 lug, and needs new pads. It has genuine ford calipers, so my guess would be 93 cobra, but how do I tell? Thank you, thank you in advance.

Could have come from many sources, but they are all the same basic calipers as the 93 Cobras. Here is a pic of the 87-88 Turbocoupe setup, where Ford got the 93 Cobra brakes from:

Hope this pic helps.

If you can, remove a set of pads from one side and take them with you to match up with possibles at the store (though I cant think of other 4 lug diskers other than the wise replies above). I just did a roadside repair on a car today and had the pleasure of getting wrong parts the first time, so that is on my mind.

Good luck.
