Overview: Foxbody 5-Lug & Disc Brake Swap (lessons learned)

1984 mercury marquis station wagon rear springs are the way to go

Great mods! Wheels, tires, 5 lugs, rear disc brakes, and rear louvers.

Thanks, it’s been a fun project.

If you can jack the suspension all the way to the bump stops, and have no tire contact, the wheel/tire combo fits. An 8.5” wide front/ 9” wide rear wheel is the limit on an unmodified Fox. When SN95 rear brake hoses are used, the factory bump stops need to be removed so there’s no contact at full compression. SN95 rear shocks have internal bump stops.

I've tried and tried and tried with my five lug swap, I did the front cadillac brembos and the 93master/booster my brakes keep dragging after driving any tips?

[@thefoxlife3431]

I didn’t have an issue with drag on my swap so I’m not sure what might be going on. Did you gut the prop valve and use the MM master cylinder hard lines and add a manual prop valve at the passenger side firewall? Did you get a good bleed on both valves of the Brembo?

Get everything off the same car and it will be cheaper from the salvage yard
