Well, I bought this car to drive, and have decided the braking is terrible. Monster brakes, means bigger wheels. I'm semi torn on my decision. I wouldn't say I'm "hacking" the car up, just bolting on some more modern stuff. I really wanted to keep things original, but I also want to drive it a lot. Power isn't the problem, with the stock motor it's plenty fast around town. Every other car on the road can out-stop me though!!!

How could you let your garage get so cluttered? :D


I've got rear disk brakes on my SSP; allegedly it's a '93 Cobra 4-lug rear. I do like how my car stops/handles. A previous owner had tossed the stock parts long ago. In your case, hang onto the stock pieces if you can. Somebody will be the owner/custodians of these cars after we're long gone, so retaining the stock pieces may be of benefit later on.

Braking has always been barely adequate with rear drums on these cars, but if it was good enough back then for duty use, it should be still ok.

93K is low mileage, too. (or was)

Nice looking car, though.

Haha, what's seen of the garage, is only the tip of the iceberg! Actually, the boxes stacked (rather oddly) on the right, contain stock parts from both Mustang, and an 03 Lightning. Obviously I don't throw much away. If the garage was twice as big, everything would be organized........yeah right.

Nice car. Is that a FL car or a UHP?

Griswald 05-25-2011 06:14 PM

Almost there....

Fitting this booster in was not fun

Access to the bolts was a pain, until I found an easier route
