I am developing a 5 lug conversion, already have the axles being produced and the drums. I want to work on something so people can run disc all the way around. I know there are other rear disc kits out there and we were going to use one of the newer v6 or gt rear calipers to keep ebrakes and make a parking brake cable to adapt. I was just trying to find out if anyone else has more info to help save us some time. I know we will have to design a caliper bracket around what we use and thats easy but just trying to find the parts to use and what people would want to run is the trick. Any links or ideas would be great

Ford racing sells the whole kit based around 94 - 04 Cobra rotors and calipers .

... which is why I have a set of rear rotors available if you need them. (Shameless SPAM, I know.) :rolleyes:
That said, it depends on what performance level you're looking for. The cobra brakes are GREAT, but a lot of guys just go with the standard late-model setups. (Keep in mind the Cobra brakes also require the use of 17"+ wheels.)
Here is a great write-up on the subject covering a multitude of options: http://svo73mm.cjb.net/
Good luck with the project.

EDIT: Nevermind on the rotors. Looks like you're trying to put together kits. Already a number of them out there and Fox-specific brackets to boot. Might be re-inventing the wheel, here?
