Turbo coupe rear ends a re 3/4 of an inch wider per side. Check your clearances on your tires to see if it works. Wolf Racecars makes a converion kit for 4 lug:bigthumb

I have heard people say that when converting to rear disc, other parts need to be exchanged also ( master cylinder and proportioning valve ). If anyone knows for sure, I would also consider swapping to disc brakes.

You need to change the master cylinder and brake valve. Rear disks needs a larger bore master cylinder and different proportioning valve. Rear drums use Residual Pressure Valves that rear disks dont need

chadomac; If you are looking for a turbo coupe set up, I have a complete brake system of off a 88 TC. I just recently removed it and went to drums. I have uncut brake lines, flex lines, axles and all, up in my garage. $50 If interested PM me. Do your home work because I know you'll need to switch axles, master cylinder and I believe the proportioning valve.

You can use the brackets made by North Racecars and keep your stock length axles. They are a little pricey but your wheels won't stick out 3/4" more on each side. They have the right ebrake cables as well.

Yes, North Racecars makes the brackets. And there is also a site out there with a CRAP TON of EXCELLENT brake swap info... go to:

What you need is on page 5 I think, master cylinder upgrades are a few pages later
