Bruce Im thinking about doing Brakes on mine too which setup are you going to do ?

 

[Ryan]

Zach you have to remember if you do any brake up grades unless its a 94+ you have to change out hte front spindles. If it never sees the track 96s are just fine.

Brake upgrade

Regarding the brake upgrade there are two ways to go. I need to do some more research on this but this is my understanding of it so far: You can upgrade (I have an '89) to early 90's which is a relatively simple upgrade. To upgrade to the '96 (I think) it involves the changing of the spindle. My first step was the 16" slicers. I will research the brake upgrade a little more thoroughly now.

Sorry I don't have more info for you.
:shrug:

 

[Ryan]

any 89-93 requires the spindle change, and 16" wheels UNLESS You just 'upgrade' to the 94-95 Rotors which are 10.8" IIRC. 96s are 11.8"s (IIRC). This is what I had on my 93 and I had them installed at FPS, and they used all Ford parts. Installed it ran me 1300 and some change. If all you do is street driving as I said these are plenty. Of all the mods that I had, I'd have to say these were the best ones. TCE makes some awesome brakes as does Baer. Also if your in for a little fabrication work some guys have put on the Cobra brakes and they look sweet.

 

[shoguy]

about the brake upgrade from the 89-93 to 94 my friend is getting them for me from teh junkyard for 150 bucks...sweet!

Hey Griff:

I think that SHO needs to be included in your sig:thumbsup:

 

[escort?]

I got the car in June 2002 and so far I have had the front rotors machined, new rear rotors and pads (and caliper bracket on passenger rear), new front motor mount... that's all that I can think of right now. In the works for 03 are axle shaft seal on passenger side axle, camber adjustment and alignment, and new tires (maybe some 17's with tires :thumbsup: ).

Quick question for all of you:

I finally got around to researching my '96 front brake upgrade for my '89 and found some knuckles, calipers and caliper brackets from a '96 donor vehicle. This vehicle had anti-locks on it and was wondering if that is going to be a problem for me? Obviously I don't care (nor want, for that matter) about the anti-lock feature, just want to make sure that it won't be a problem?

Thankies All!!

:beer: :thumbsup: :beer:

knuckles won't work. IIRC Tie rods mount in different spots
the knuckles have to be from 94/95 Taurus.

I'm sorry, I had my years mixed up:bash:

I have anti-lock knuckles out of a '94 along with the calipers and brackets. Then I need to buy '96 Rotors and pads, correct?

I'm just wondering if the anit-lock feature on these knuckles is going to give me problems?

'Preciate the help!!:beer:

You'll need the 96 caliper brackets to clear the rotors. I did the swap on my moms 94 ATX last spring, and it took, 96 rotors, and 96 Caliper brackets, i kept her calipers, and used the 94/95 pads as well. So you can use the 94/95 Calipers. Your ABS should be just fine.
