I've read the sticky and have heard about issues with the MarkVII rotors not allowing center caps to be used, etc. What rotors can I use that would allow me to run the wheels pictured below on my '93 LX ragtop......



I'll probably use Ranger or Aerostar axles for the rear.

Also, I ran across this on a '90 hatchback at Pick-N-Pull yesterday. Looks like someone did the conversion already. I'm assuming the fronts are SN95 GT/V6 spindles, rotors and calipers. The rear is possibly a 5.0 Mustang 8.8 w/3.27 trac loc and 5-lug Ranger axles however, I have no clue what the rear discs are off of. I'm thinking about grabbing the front spindle/brake assembly and rear axles only, to swap into my '93. Thoughts or opinions?

I would grab everything, it looks to me like SN95 rotors and calipers, all around. I can't tell you about the rear end, but why not grab it also, get it cleaned and set up the way you want, and have a ready to go bolt on.

94-98 GT/v6 front brakes and 94-04 GT/v6 rear brakes.

Axles has a date code but I didn’t have tome to decipher it. It’s got 3.27s if they haven’t been swapped
