Will put the rotors inside of where the calipers are. Taking SN95 disc brake brackets and flipping them for use on Fox axles works. Else just use the drum brakes. Unless you are road racing you will not notice any better stopping with discs on the back vs drums. The front brakes do 90% of the stopping. Swapping to 13" SN95 Cobra spindles and brakes is a simple bolt on. Just make sure you use the Sn95 lower ball joint or you will need washers to shim up the stock ball joint for the nut to secure it.

Hey,The '94-98 cars rear axle shafts are .75" longer than the stock axles on the '87-93 cars
The '99+ V6/GTs are even longer at about 1.4x"
I used 5 lug fox length with SN95 calipers on the rear, with special brackets that held the calipers on the stock length location fox axles.
I also used the longer SN95 axles on another coupe so I can get the correct offset rim. On the Corral there are guys running 315's on SN95 axles and a 10.5 rim with the correct offset.
