Buy this.
http://www.buyfordracing.com/shop/product_info.php?products_id=330

And get a set of front rotors for an 89 lincoln mark7.
Don't forget new inner and outer front wheel bearings and seals.

All together about $350.00

Cheapest way to do it besides getting used axles.

Which if you want I have a set of used 28 spline 5 lug axles around. I could sell to you for $90.00 add another $150.00 and i'll include the new drums, rotors, and bearings.

I bought all this stuff 2 years ago for a little more. I think I paid 160 for the drums and rotors and 120 for the axles.

Oh, forgot to add. For the 99 wheels you will need longer wheel studs in the rear, and 1/2 inch spacers in the back, 1/4 in the front.

This will cover the rear, if you want disc's in the back:

Find a set of 94-95 spindles and hubs for the front(www.car-part.com local yards have them at $35-100 each), get the stainless adapter brake hoses from Maximum Motorsports. Then you can run the cheap GT/V6 brakes if you want, or Cobra's. More options, and you don't have to worry about the Mark 7 rotor interference.

I ended up running a 95 V6 master cylinder, have great pedal feel with the 2.3l booster. Getting ready to dump the power booster and install the MM manual kit.

There is a good bit of misinformation on this site:

I bought his e-book that he sells, found lots of discrepancies between the piston sizes he qoutes, as well as master cylinder thread size and pitch. His free stuff is a worthwhile read, just check fit things before you start dropping serious cash on things you can't return.

at least it gives a good idea on where to start though.
