Been going back and forth on a rear disk setup for my car.
i cobbled together a whole lincoln rear setup from an 89 mark 7, invested in slotted rotors. you can see it in my other thread on this board. the problem is that i can't make a parking brake function without significant modifications. using lincoln axle shafts would correct all the fitment problems but kick the wheels out past the wheelwells, which is ugly as all hell. i'd really rather not go without a parking brake since i'm running a stick, but i could with minor mods to this setup.
2nd option is to sell off the lincoln parts and go with an SN-95 setup. only reason i was avoiding this was because the calipers and rotors are smaller than the lincoln pieces and i hate solid rotors. however, i could easily convert my axle using sn-95 shafts and brakes and cables. this would leave me with slightly less braking power but correct my wheel spacing and give me a handbrake.
the 3rd option is to put ranger drums on it and call it a day until i can afford a Baer kit sometime next year. still have the original drum system and cables lying around.
converted to 5 lugs, by the way.
