Lincoln brakes??

A buddy was telling me that we can pretty much bolt on certain year lincoln calipers/rotors/pads. He said they are a little bit bigger than stock TC's. Any truth to this and what years/models we should buy them for?

I'm not sure, but I would say it would require you to swap to 5lug

Ian,

If it's just the caliper you want, Lincoln Mark VII are a bolt on. I have them on my '88. Available in most parts stores. All you need is the front calipers, the rears are the same as the TC.

I'll concur they bolt on. I ran them on mine but never did get a pedal response that I liked with them, so I went back to the stock calipers with a good set of pads.

All that is now gone, and I'm running vacuum brakes with dual-piston PBRs now, 5-lug swapped.

I thought there was a little performance to gain from running the Mark VII stuff but it sounds like its not much more than stock. I was able to find stock calipers pretty easy the rotors were a different story.

What are PBR's asides from hipster beer? And what did u use to convert to vacuum brakes? Its something ill want to pursue down the road.

PBR (Australian company I think) is the brand of brakes Ford installed on 94+ Mustang GTs and all 99+ Mustangs. I bought mine reman from the parts store when I did the 5-lug swap with 94-5 spindles. I think the Cobra brakes are also made by PBR, but they get called Cobra brakes (with 12.9" rotor) and the GT/V6 get referred to as PBRs (with 10.9" rotor); both are dual-piston. I was going to do Cobra calipers, but remans are -hard- to find and new was more money than I wanted to spend.

I went a little crazy and thought I would try to keep ABS, and add traction control, on the car when I ditched the Teves setup. So, I grabbed the master cylinder, all the brake lines, and the ABS unit off a 2003 V6 Mustang. This was before the 5-lug swap when I still had all 4 wheel speed sensors. It was ambitious... the ABS unit is currently unplugged but still in the hydraulic system. I'll have to do something with the electronics side of things since that new of ABS module talks with the cluster and EEC. I used the master cylinder with a fox body vacuum booster for the swap.
