Hey real quick, would it be an upgrade to put the '88 TC front brakes into my '93 mustang? Are they the same as the 5.0? Do I just need the calipers, rotors, brake lines and spindle? I am getting rid of the donor car in the morning so I need to know quick. Thanks
The spindles and calipers are the same as the 5.0 stuff. The rotors are the same except for the ABS sensor ring which you don't need anyway. 5.0 rotors fit and cost less if you ever do have to buy rotors. I did this swap on my 88 LX a few months ago. The 2.3 struts do not fit the TC/5.0 spindles so you either have to upgrade to 5.0 struts or use the TC struts. You will also need a wheel alignment afterwards. Everything is a mile out, specially the tow-in. And you need an inverted flare adapter (1/4" male to 3/16 female) because the TC uses a 1/4" brake hose on the right side only.
