Ok I have been trying to figure out a way to swap to 5 lug rear disc, Without special brackets or a total rearend swap. I have been to the bobbit write up on Lincoln and Cadillac components,great info, but could it be easier.
This is what I did and it lets you keep your stock track width!
1.The TC rear and a SN95 rear are the same width, so use any v6 or v8 axles from a 94-95 Mustang. 96-98 I think are the same also.???
2.Go to your partstore of choice and ask for a set of front rotors from a 1990 Mazda MPV minivan with a v6 engine NON 4WD.
3.Ok the original TC 4 lug rotors have a 2-5/16" offset. The new Mazda rotors are 5 lug with a rotor offset of 2-7/16" offset. Now you can machine 1/8" wheel spacers to put between the axle and the rotor. This moves the new Mazda rotor back into center alignment with the caliper.
OR....
Just get some 1/8" washers and put behind the new mazda rotor and you have the same result for a lot less money.This is the easiest way I have found to swap over to 5 lug rear disc and keep the original housing with no special brackets.
