Which SN95 axles for 93 LX, disc brakes, ABS rings?

[dan50]

I am converting the rear drum brakes to disc brakes on my 93 LX.

I purchased these SN95 axles from Rock Auto USA STANDARD GEAR ZAK630223 because
1) the current axles are 28 spline and I did not want to spend another $500 - $1,000 for a 31 spline traction lock and to set up the gears.
2) the Fox axles are too short for the ABS ring
3) the Yukon SN95 F880021 axles that I found were either "sold out" or $400 each
4) and honestly there doesn't seem to be any other options except for Motive, which I saw a bunch of people trash talk

I am curious if I should plan on 31 splines and a new traction lock (or whatever else the name is, something more to learn) or a different brand of axle. Send it or do it better?

Thx

I got mine from latemodleresto, they are 28 spline and have the correct centric for cobra 11.625 inch rotors,a d they ate fox length.
No abs ring needed

Moser makes them as well.

I did not see the manufacturer listed so I wasn’t fond of trying these. I’ve emailed LMR to see if they will share that info.

I’m installing ABS so I need the longer length.

I read online that their quality was suspect. Are they reputable?

 

[Noobz347]

Strange and Moser are some of the best.

The LMR axles are likely Strange (since that's who they generally do business with) and the exciter rings are probably made in China by the lowest bidder (just like everything now made for OEMs).

Unless you're planning to run the salt-flats with over a 1000 HP, I wouldn't wring my fingers about it too much.

First i've heard of Moser sucking. I have a set of their axles. No longer running them as I had to go to OEM SN95 axles for the offset. Cant' be any worse than those and I've heard that those axles suck.

What are you doing with the car? Are you dumping the clutch on sticky tires?

Why bother installing abs on a 93?

Just driving it on the street. No slicks; no drag racing. I'll just stick with these Rock Auto specials until I break them.

The brakes are better than the tires at the moment.

Because it brakes better than you do. I have it in my 93 and it’s pretty sweet.

Nobody brakes better then me.King Ball Braker.

I have never had to push the brakes on my fox hard enough that they would lock up. Oh wait, I did once, but that threshold braking training I got years ago seems to have stuck. Boy did the Brembos whoa the pony.

 

[Mustang5L5]

ABS was always on my list of things to do. While i've never pushed my Fox that hard to threaten a lockup, the car is tire-limited and I'm just so used to driving modern cars with fast ABS systems, big brakes and quality tires.

28 spline fox length axles with the brackets from North Racecars. I think thats their name. I bought them years ago. I have an extra set of SN95 brackets Im not using. I went with 31 spline Moser axles and a Torsen Diff. You can source a diff from an F-150 8.8. those are 31 spline. Thats the diff FRPP sells. Wrecking yard works also. Just replace the steels and clutches. I did 1 steel to 1 clutch and made it way tighter.
