    ok i have everything to do a 5 lug swap but really dont see the point. here is my question i have the spindles and everything off of a 76 comet. but does anyone know if i can get rotors that are still 4 luf so i dont have to buy new rims? like off a mustang 2 or something i can buy new that will use the same spindle and be 4 lug? maybe an older maverick? did they ever have a disc brake 4 lug? ill do the 5 lug later down the road i just dont wanna switch rear ends. if anyone has part numbers or a car i can get the rotors for ill just go buy new ones.

    ive seen 4 lug disc brake conversins for older mustangs so thye can use their stock rims and the car will look stock from the outside

    Why NOT go 5 lug? It's a no brainer. You have everything, just bolt it in and go! I do not believe the rotors you are searching for exist.
