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

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.

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?

It's actually the other way around, I'm swapping my drums to EGT rear discs..
