I keep seeing turbocoupes at my local jy. Can the rear disk brakes and hardware be pulled off and bolted to a '92 LX 8.8? Don't want the whole axle- don't need it.

Yes it can be done,brackets,rotors and calipers. It come out to be the same as the SSBC setup. You will need to buy the SS brake hose.The whole axle housing and axles were longer on the T-Bird but the spacing between the braket,caliper and rotor are the same as the stock mustang.Good luck.

That's why I don't want the whole rear end. Just bolt the brakes to mine. [Wink]

You do not use the the whole axle housing and axles, just the Backing brackets, calipers w/ caliper brackets and rotors. Thats all, I must not have made the clear enough in my first post sorry.
