Title nails it, I'm planning on getting a set of lincoln mark rotors for the front spindles which are I believe from a 93 stang, but yeah on the back I'm not sure where to look. I would rather not buy new calipers too as I'm getting all new rims, new axles, and 2 new tires for the front to help suck the sidewalls in, so yeah any ideas?
I can (but I don't want to) weld up one of the holes on my 4 lug rotors and redrill to 5 lug, but if I can buy a set of rotors that works I'd rather go that route.
Don't get the LSC rotors, not much selection of wheels, been there......done that :( The problem that stems from them is the center hub is slightly larger and sticks out further as well. Just get a set of Ranger rotors. Someone will correct me if I'm wrong but I believe they are of the 10" diameter varity.
Email Tom Reid at Disc Brakes R Us. tom@discbrakesrus They have five lug rotors to fit the TC rear. They were $139 a pair when I inquired in Feburary. I could never find them on their website, but Tom sent photos, dimensions and prices to me via email.
If you have a stock '87 or '88 TC disc brake rear, then just purchase a set of stock rear rotors from a 1991-92 Lincoln Mark VII.
Cool, thanks guys! I'll probably go the lincoln route as I'd like to get the rotors asap so I can measure and make sure everything is gonna fit; the new rims I'm looking at have about 0.32" more backspacing than TC rims so I'm being real methodical atm.
I'd be careful with the lincoln fronts. The hub length and diameter limit wheel choice. Been there done that, but I've changed the front set-up. Good luck with it.
I used to run lincoln front spindles and rotors. My 16" eagle cobra R's fit but the 255-50-16 was scary close to the strut. My 17" svt cobra wheels and 275-40-17's required a significant spacer to clear, which put them into the fender lip on bumps. Didn't have issues with either on clearing the hub.
I swapped to 94-95 mustang spindles/hubs/brakes, and both sets of wheels clear perfectly.

Are the any other better options for front rotors,.... Other than a SN95 swap? Using 87+ Mustang spindles.
Good thing for lathes huh? But, it I hope it doesn't come to that.
What axles are you using to convert the TC rear to 5 lug?
