ok first question i have for you ...whats your purpose for the swap...is it to upgrade the braking system or is it to fit 5 lug wheels....if its for new rim selections then like 87 mark series rotor simply replace your front rotors and the fronts done....then the rear axels can be filled and re drilled to the bolt pattern by a machine shop, or you can get 2 pass side axels out of a ranger or just buy the rear axel upgrade kits

ok if you want a upgraded brake system then do a swap with newer stang components it will give you larger rotors and what not....my swap was strickly to get 5 lug and it cost me like 250 bucks to do not counting wheels lol
that sound good but where i live theres alot of 5.0s and everyone has 4 lug cobras and ponys and i want to be different i want like a bullitt style wheel

yea i wanted 5 lug to thats why i swapped i went with 18" cobra r's no ones running them around here and all i found in 4 lug was 17" and i hate 17"with a passion

front rotors off a 87ish mark series....parts store they just swapped right out instant 5 lug...i think if your ride is older then 89 you cant do this swap...and i had the rear axels filled and re-drilled to 5 lug at a machine shop...it was def. a cheap route but it stops great i think and stopping my 18"chrome i would imagine would be a task but i have had no issues im pretty sure with the older stang you have you need to do the sn-95 swap for the front of your car i could be wrong though
