 |
|
To put the maximum motorsports supsension on my 86 coupe I need to upgrade to 87 spindles. I'm told I can keep the 4 lugs but will my stock mclaren rims work with the 87 spindles and 11" brakes? Thanks -Ryan
*Edit, for some reason I thought the 87's switched to 5 lug, but just found out it's the 93 cobra, I guess all is well for 87 spindles?* |

Ok going to freshen up the brakes too as well, I guess for the 87 spindles easiest is to put on the svo calipers which I believe will work fine with my stock mclaren rims... Someone yell at me if they wont.
I'm sure some folks aren't happy that i'm modifying the car. I intend to keep every stock part and can always go back in the future. I want to drive and enjoy the car in the summer, maybe bring it to woodward next year etc.  |

I don't have a problem with it. After all, it is your car. If the upgrades are going to make it more enjoyable for you to drive, I say go for it. I'm glad to see you keeping it. Like you said, can always go back to stock if you want. |

You need 87 to 93 gt spindles rotors and calipers. Rims will fit right on. Also there's a company that makes rear disc brake set for fox body's. It keeps your stock fox body length axles. Changing the rear to disc brakes makes a big difference. I Have a Maximum motorsports k frame also.
Really good stuff.

I bought a nice set of refurbished spindles of ebay. I'm thinking I'll put the svo calipers on as they're a little better than the 87 calipers and I can get them and the svo master cylinder.
The 4 lug rear disc brakes are from SSBC, will be ordering them next week as well. As of now I'm going to keep the stock kmember and arms. |

You'll need a adjustable proporting valve. A new e bake cables.

Try this site I bought most of my stuff for my cars. Also maximum motorsports has a lot of good stuff for the disc brake conversion
