Fox brakes

[Davis]

Well my fox brakes really suck I would have to struggle to stop. They are manual front disc and rear drum. I dont have the money for a 5 lug conversion, any suggestions? I was thinking that I could pick up a ford racing adjustable proportioning valve and improve it a bit or am i way off?

well five lug isnt that hard go to junkyard and find thunderbird axles they come from the factory with 5 lug

[Davis]

Its way more than axles it wheels, spindles, calipers, discs, ect. and if it were to come to that I would go four wheel disc off a late 90's stang.

true

u should just try and find a wrecked fox with power brakes on the front. Then jack everything off of it.

new rotors and good set of hawk pads with a fliud flush Im sure would help 100%

[Davis]

Now why didnt I think of flushing it? Anyone have a power bleeder? It has new pads and rotors but I may switch the pads out.

[Blackout_03]

dont have one....but Advanced in Benton has one you can rent...thats the only place i could find one.....also..Im sure new lines would help..i bet they are pretty old and flexiable

Fox brakes suck when they rolled off the assembly line and adding that heavier Chevy block to the nose doesn't help any either. The only thing to do cheaply is to convert to the SVO or Lincoln setup. I have the Lincoln setup and it stops great, plus I added Hawk pads and of course it has rear discs as well.

You could try the maximum motor sports upgrade kit for the stock brakes.

The SVO setup up front would help to most. It changes over to a 73mm caliper.
