SVO Suspension questions

  • Sponsors (?)


I have not given them a call but someone pointed out that I’d have a smaller turning radius with the 87-93 spindles, plus lose the potential for a brake upgrade. I’ve got a lead on a set of 94-95 spindles and cobra calipers for $250, but before I bite I want to know if I’d need a new master cylinder. The stock SVO one is a 1 1/8” unit

Leaving the stock 54mm rear calipers?

Yes, you'll likely want an smaller bore MC to maintain proper pedal feel. The cobra calipers have smaller pistons. I could calculate it out roughly if you tell me the setup you'd like to run
 
Yeah, I was thinking the cobra calipers (let’s assume they’re the 38mm piston ones for now) or possibly 03-11 crown vic calipers if I could make the ones I’ve got in the garage fit and stock rears. I don’t mind a firm pedal btw, I’ve already got a set of braided stainless lines ready to go on.
