Hey everyone. I wanted to start out by saying thanks for the welcome on an earlier post. I'm putting together a build thread for the coupe currently, I'm just taking more photos so it's actually interesting to read.
So I've been doing a lot of research on my braking options. I have SN95 spindles currently, not yet installed. I also have an '02 V6 Mustang donor car that I'm trying to rob off of. Everything I've been reading says the two piston/PBR calipers and brackets bolt onto the SN95 spindles with some grinding of the spindle ears. If the donor car's calipers are in good enough shape I'll use them. I've also looked into a 13" Cobra setup but for my plans (Drifting and some SCCA) it seems like a waste. I'd rather save and go with a real big brake kit that is actually built for abuse. I'm not sure on rear right now, it has a 7.5" from a New edge with discs. Why the previous owner did that swap is beyond me. But it should make swapping to a SN95 8.8" rear with discs that much easier. I also have to fab up a dual rear caliper setup but that's another thread.
My Questions
- I'm installing New Edge Calipers and rotors onto SN95 Spindles, which are on a '85 Coupe. Which year of soft brake lines do I need? (Going SS)
- Which year Bolt kit do I need for bracket and caliper? Don't want to reuse old hardware due to rust etc.
- Any pad suggestions for fronts? Looking at Hawk HPS.
- Pretty sure the rotors are 11" from the new edge, will this interfere with my 15" wheels?
- Any foreseeable problems with Brake Booster or Master Cylinder? Both are OEM to 85 Coupe, in good condition. Also planning to use an adjustable brake proportioning valve.
Thanks in advance and if anyone is interested in Drifting or has questions related to it feel free to PM.
