Easy install and perfect fit...(I added the power slot rotors) http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/iwwida.pvx?;item?item_no=SS-A1121%20%20%20%20%20%20%201&comp=LRS < Message edited by only90s -- 5/21/2008 5:46:40 PM > _____________________________ 90 GT, 5spd, 4.10s, Vortech 10lbs, 308 Twisted Wedge, TFS Stage 1 cam, Holley Systemax, 42lb injectors, Power Pipe, SCT Chip 454rwhp/426rwtq..90 Notch-Paxton sold 9/94 (in reply to 1990gtguy) Post #: 2

RE: Rear disk brakes - 5/21/2008 6:39:03 PM    my little red 90   Posts: 111 Joined: 11/21/2007 From: Bakersfield, CA Status: offline i used the axles, brackets and rear brakes off an 88 MK VII. it has 5 lug axles so you may not want this setup. junk yard $$ are low. axles are 3/4" longer than stock mustang. i like that, but it does limit how wide a tire will fit ubder the fender well. i also went with 13" Cobra rotors in the front, and needed to change the master cylinder to handle the added flow requirements. may not be a problem with rears only. there are other fixes. some?? ranger pickups t'birds and ????. scrounging is usually cheaper than the store, if you have the time. _____________________________ A hot rodder at heart since the '50's.

I went with the SSBC kit, because I wanted everything new and did not want to deal with old/rusted parts...but to each their own. < Message edited by only90s -- 5/22/2008 4:46:21 AM > _____________________________ 90 GT, 5spd, 4.10s, Vortech 10lbs, 308 Twisted Wedge, TFS Stage 1 cam, Holley Systemax, 42lb injectors, Power Pipe, SCT Chip 454rwhp/426rwtq..90 Notch-Paxton sold 9/94 (in reply to SPE926) Post #: 6

Does it hurt u alot in tire width size.?  i'd like to run a 15x10 tire in the rear with a 6.5" bs.    with a tire like 275 50 r15.   think that would still fit? im' sure alot of u have run something similar!!
