I don't actually own the car but a buddy of mine does and im the one who is working on it. So I figured it would be useful to join since I have already run into a issue with the rear brakes. it currently has 5 lug rear disc brake and the rotors that were on it are worn way down and the eyelets for the stud holes are rounded out (rotors have been drilled in several places). My issue is trying to figure out what rotor is on it?

He gave me a pair of used rotors but they seem to be from a SN95 and are too large in diameter and also aren't vented like the ones that came off.

About the only car I could think of that had 5 lug disc brakes in the rear from fox body era is the Mark VII but they are too big in diameter.

Here are the specs from the rotor that was on the car

Rotor diameter 10.15 inches
inner hub diameter 6.15
face of hat to rotor 1.36
and rotor thinkness is .875


Thanks in advance for any advice

Could they be T-bird rotors that were re-drilled ?

Yes found out they are turbocoupe rotors that are drilled and I can buy them already drilled from discbrakesrus or breeze
