Hi CAFords!!!

I just got a Fox body. I had one in HS and came back full circle and bought another one. I didn't realize how bad the stock brakes are. What are some ways to upgrade the brakes? Do brakes from 94-95 fit? Or....

For 4 lug brake upgrade your gonna spend some dough..SSBC,BAER,wilwood all have quality high end brakes for 4lug..other than that I believe u can really only change to drilled/slotted rotors and 93 cobra disc in the rear..now if your down for a wheel swap to 5 lug wheels there's alot of options,I'd recommend good ole sn95 spindle swap and cobra 13" brakes up front and fox length axles with north racecar brackets and cobra rear disc setup..keeps the x10 wheels from poking out and looking jank as in when you throw a sn95 or new edge rearend with factory disc setup in a fox..

I'm happy with my 4 lug rims. So looks like I have to buy a kit which would be over $1000. Dayam that is just out of my range right now. Thanks for the replies, I appreciate your insight.

Yo 86_on_DD_machs did you paint the calipers or did you buy them like that? I have Cobra brakes waiting to go on but they got grey calipers N I ain't diggin' it.
