Ford 9 inch help

Ok im getting ready to order a 9 inch for my car,But i keep getting mixed answers. I called moser they say you cannot reuse your stock factory disc brakes. I have seen where people say you can use the stock brakes. i am i missing somthing? Also i looked at the quick performance rear why does the torque arm mount look so much diffrent them moser? I have about 2500.00 to get this done. Just trying to find the best way to do this and not go broke.

Re: Ford 9 inch help

Yeah, Moser told me the same thing...but I had drums anyway and was considering converting to stock discs on the rear. Not sure, but it might have something to do with the way the stockers mount up and the big Ford style bearing ends....someone else may know exactly why.

They offer a Explorer disc kit that bolts up, or a drum kit (Torino I think). I didn't need disc that bad, so I opted for the drums. Probably the only real diff. between thier Ford kit and a stock Ford kit is that they drill the drums/rotors to fit the Chevy bolt pattern...

If you're dead set on disc brakes, maybe the stockers will work on a 12 bolt rear?

Re: Ford 9 inch help

I not really set on disc i just thought since i already have the stock disc brakes on my current rear maybe i could save a few bucks. I think for the cheap set it was 350.00 extra. I dont do much street driving so im not really worried about a big high dollar brake setup

Re: Ford 9 inch help

The end of the rear end housing is MUCH too large for the brake setups on our cars.

You can pick up Expoder brakes at the junkyard by the crate full right now, that being the single most popular Cash For Clunkers turn-in. Go that route. They'll probably pay you to take em, instead of charging you for em. Just don't tell em why you want em; instead, look around in parking lots anf stuff, and find the year/model of Exploder that you want brakes off of, and tell em you're looking to fix your [insert year & model here] and need all the brake part because the Firestone tire blew up, or the ball joints broke, and trashed it all.
