picked up a 90 4 banger notch about a month ago and have been collecting parts for it.. My friend is parting out a 91 LSC with 5 lug 4 wheel disc and offered me all the parts i need for the swap for $100. Now is it worth going from stock 5.0 mustang brakes to 5 lug 4 wheel disc from an LSC? And if so can i just take the rear brake set up off the LSC rear and use it on my 3.55 8.8 mustang rear? Or can I just use the LSC rear all together? My rim plans are going to be a rear weld pro star 15x8 or 15x10 with either a 6.5 or 5.5 bs any help would be appreciated because i hadn't planned on going 5 lug, this kinda fell into my lap. Thanks in advance

Matt

It's more about the sound, they have pretty different sounds.

I have an offroad-x and magnaflow mufflers and it sounds pretty good. X is more of a higher pitched sound than H.

I have the same setup on mine, it will stop really quik LOL, and the rear is wider so it has a cooler looking stance, much meaner, and can use wider tires as well.

You need to decide on a set of wheels. The Lincoln rotors dont let you use alot of newer wheels due to the big hubs.

You can modify the rear setup to work with ranger axles and keep your stock track.

The brake setup is a little outdated, and the rear setup is especially heavy, but for $100 it seems like a good deal. You'll need a few additional parts like an SVO MC, prop valve plug, adjustable prop valve and misc fittings. It will also require some custom fab for the e-brake and a little welding if you want to suck the rear wheels in and use ranger axles.

There is a link on how to do that on www.sn95brakes.com
