Why not goto a Junk yard and snatch some SN95 axles? And swap on new brakes?

would this be just as effective as buying a whole new conversion kit?

SN95 axles are 5 lug...Are you planning on getting new 5 lug wheels too or staying with the stock 4 lug?....

I installed a 4 lug SSBC (stainless steel brake company) rear disc conversion on my first Mustang and it worked out really nice...

Is the swap really worth it? A buddy of mine, told me that it may be stronger?

If you want to do 5 lug, pull the spindles and rear axles/complete rear end off of a 94+ car. All you'll need is a new MC and a 3-2 port conversion kit (sold through maximummotorsports.com) and get it all on. The car will be all fucked up, so you'll need an alignment for shizzle. Here's a great link about different types of brake swaps:

Get the whole kit from 50resto.com

They have a deal going on right now that is THE ENTIRE KIT for less than 500 bucks.

Having 4 wheel disc brakes are good all around. But beware if the rears lock-up on rainy days. That's what I heard. So be careful.

about how much would it cost to swap to rear disc and retain the 4 lug?

what ever u do make sure u get a proportioning valve,thats the key to making rear disc work awesome and not lock up in the rain

When I changed my rear brakes over to disc. I got a lot of help from Matt Bobbitt@yahoo.com. his brake page is great Http://SVO73mm.cjb.net He also sells a lot of the small stuff that makes it work right. Good luck

you can do a 5 lug 4 wheel disc brake conversion for a reasonable price.PM Foxbody as he sells the complete conversion that will bolt diectly on your car and it comes complete with everything needed to do the job.I beleive he sells the setup for around $300.00 fro everything.if you need help installing it let me know
