Brakes

[trainguy1989]

If you do the 96 Brake upgrade on the front can you use the original 10.5 rotors and brackets on the back wheels? Also, for the front upgrade can you use 95 Lincoln Continental parts, as I have no 96 SHO's in the junk yards here.

Thanks,
David

1.No the rears are a different set up.
SHOsource offers brackets that allows the use of larger rotors but there is really no need as the rears do very little,its just a bling upgrade.
2.Doesn't need to be a SHO just a 96 and up Taurus for calipers,brackets,rotors.the hubs need to be from any 94 or 95 Taurus.

The SHO Calipers and brackets are specific. I think if you find a 04+ Taurus they have the larger 11.6 brakes that were on the SHO's.

Caliper bracket (FN74) and rotors (11.6) 96-99 SHO or 03? and up Taurus.
Calipers Any Taurus 94+
95 and up Lincoln Continentals are identical to the 96-99 SHO system.

The ('96) SHO Calipers and brackets are (not SHO) specific.

Check the sticky in the Performance Upgrades Suspension and Brakes section for the '96 upgrade parts.
