Can't remember the changes needed for this swap... I am willing to keep original fox drum brakes. Anyone done this one?

I have a 95 rear end in my 90GT...
I used the 95 disc brakes.

That was several years ago though...

I hoped the mounting points would be the same. You did the installation, and it was a bolt in?

The housings are identical, the axles are 3/4" longer to accommodate the disk brakes.

you can make your fox length axles and SN95 disk brakes work with special brakcets though.. i modified TC brakcets for my setup but my friend used SN95 rear brakes and clamed he had to buy the brackets, modifying the stockers wasn't an option... Do you want to be 4 or 5 lug? if you want drum brakes like said above, put your old axles and brakes on the SN housing..
