i know this has probably been beaten to death, i did use the search thing but nothing specific to what im looking for.
my question is how do swap to disc brakes in the back and larger disks in the front. and where i can find the parts to swap. perferably new parts.

Find a '94-98 Mustang GT...rip the running gear off of it...this will also cover the 5 lug swap as well...

Fox Stang V8 rotors, spindles, and calipers, as far as the rear, depends on what rear you have in the car now. Might be easier to find a rear from a Newer Stang GT, plus the rear would be the correct width for your car.

as most of your threads are. and I doubt you usedthe search feature at all, as it's on the cool cats page.

you come on here about every few months, and ask some retarded question, disappear, rinse, then repeat. I vote ban for being annoying!

BTW, isn't the grand prix in your sig owned by somebody other than you?

this thread is the 3rd one YOU started about "upgrading" your brakes, so don't tell me you know how to use the search button.

I will agree that the post came out slightly harsh but I also agree that these have all been beaten to death already and 'brakes' are one of the things that the search here works really well for. I have had no problems using information here to do all the brake work I've done - more than from reading the coolcats pages.

Basically if sticking with 4 lug, get 88-93 Mustang Rotors, matching calipers, mustang brake lines (with small modification to make them work with our mounting brackets), spindles for the 11" rotors and appropriate new struts, matching caliper brake pads, and be on your way. Rear, there's much more involved and mustang forums would be very beneficial to visit for TC swap information if going that route, including what you MUST do with rear discs. With rear drums, there aren't many options for improvement. Anything other than non-stock front 60mm calipers, master cylinder, proportioning valve, and possibly brake booster come into question as to whether or not you feel you must upgrade each.
