i was wanting to swap to 5 lug on my 90 coupe.
i was wondering about the rear tho.
right now its got disk in the rear that i believe is out of a thunderbird. i have the 5 lug axles already. i was wondering since i already got disk back there if there was a 5lug rotor that i could just swap out and keep it dish in the rear?
thanks in advance

I picked up a 93 cobra in December that had been converted to five lug and the factory rotor (which ford took from turbocoupe) had been redrilled for 5 lug. Its kinda boot leg but it works. I had the wheels off a few times and never even noticed it. It wasnt untill i did the gear swap and went to stick the rotor back on that I saw what was done
