Author Topic: What REAREND do I have? NorCalRydaz ¯ Member # 3233 posted                              I bought the 89 stang with a 5 lug conversion. Disc's in the front and drums in the back. I need new brake pads so what pads do I need for the drums? Any advice would help!!

Only take one side off at a time, so you can compare it to the other side if you mess up...Make sure to take the shoes with you when you buy the new ones...You can compare the old vs the new shoes...Shoes normally have a core charge too, so dont throw the old ones away, you'll need them.... The drums and shoes are most likely from a Ranger or Bronco II in the rear... -------------------- -SLOWER TRAFFIC KEEP RIGHT- Posts: 5132 | From: Bay Area, CA | Registered: Dec 2001  |  : NorCalRydaz ¯ Member # 3233 posted                              Any other opinions of what the rear might be?

Dirt cheap and a life time warranty!
