Crown Vic brakes on 89 LX Drag Car?

[Stonerboys]

Hi, I talked to a guy on here a while back that told me he had crown vic calipers on his mustang. I think he said he had braided stainless hoses on his car too but I'm not sure. I would like to know what year rotors you used and what you had to do to make the setup work. Thanks!

Pretty sure he's talking about mark7/svo calipers...which were also used on older cop crown vics

I really wouldn't recommend using them however as there realliy isn't a compatible mc to make proper use of the increase in surface area

I got them on my car and they are a giant pain in my ass

I've had them on my car for several years. I used a Cobra master cylinder, stainless brake lines and Maximum Motorsports caliper bushings. They've been great with no issues whatsoever.

Here's a link to everything you need to know about budget Fox brake upgrades.

Remember, if it's a pain the ass, you're doing it wrong.

biggest issue for me has been cutting and re flaring my new stainless hard lines. and finding the SVO hoses localy.
