Rear Disc Swap Help

Post by rekognize »

Quick question!

Just want to know if I can use the entire rear subframe+all parts from an Escort GT to swap my rear brakes to discs?

Thanks in advance :D

The holes in the rear lateral links for the sway bar end links are oriented differently. So you would need everything...sub frame, lateral links, sway bar, spindles and hubs...all of it.
94' RS/GS/MS/CF Monster Turbo...coming soon.
93' GS SE, the Black Beast, the former love of my life...soon to be gutted and crushed.
94' GS, black on black, now in several small pieces...and one large crushed piece.

Okay, I was going to take EVERYTHING from a parts car (EGT).. So I guess it would work as long as the rear subframe bolts line up right?

Well the EGT guys use our sub frames to swap the other way so I'm sure you're fine.

Why do you want to swap your disks for drums?
