Im really thinking of rear disk brakes for my 92 LX, has anybody done it, do we really have that much improvement or its almost not worth it and only replace to slotted rotors in front and good clean tuned rear drums.

any advice is welcomed

SN95 Brakes on all 4 corners are an awesome upgrade for the Fox Mustangs!

If you want to stay with 4 lugs, Do the sloted front and disks in the back. Make sure you use a 4 wheel disk praportioning valve. I used one off the 93 Cobra.
