independant rear suspion ????

ok...so my ranger has a rear frame clip with an irs out of a 89 thunder bird super coupe....The problem i'v ran across is that the bolt pattern on the rear irs is 4 1/4 by 5 and the front is 4 1/2 by 5.....both sets of wheels i own are 4 1/2 by 5.....is there away to make the rear bolt pattern a 4 1/2 by 5 bolt pattern.....

get a shop to redrill the rear, easiest way

Why don't you just make another thread about this. This is your 4th thread about this dude. Plus its suspension. How about get your GED then build a mini.

Dont down the man he was just asking a question. When I Installed the irs on my dime the pattern of the irs was a 4 lug so i did a turbo conversion on the rx7 rear end. then the pattern was a ranger patt so now I still have 2 seperate patterns but luckely, I found a set of universal wheels.

iv recently found out that you can use a mustange svt rear hub and that it will all match up even using the same amount of splines and bearing size....With that being said it creats an additional problem, TO do this i will have to have the tbird rotors redrill to fit the 4.5 bolt pattern or run mustang rotors which are larger in size and would require me to make custom caliper brackets. At the moment the only rear braking part that i own are the origanal tbird caliper brackets. so i basically need calipers,rotors,pads and that damn hub...any ideas would be appriciated....ps do the multiple post really upset you that much....i was just trying to get some quick info.

MAN IT IS REAL CHEAP TO GET THE HUBS REDRILLED I GET THEM DONE FOR AROUND 75 FOR ALL FOUR CORNERS

I think the early 90's Crown VIc rear rotors are the same as the t-birds, but with the 5x4.5 pattern. I have both in the garage, I'll check tonight.

The Crown Vic rotor is quite a bit bigger.
