Any Suggestions? SN95 with 4-lugs rotor!?

Im planning to upgrade my front brake system, and as I read thru threads, SN95 upgrade is just perfect for fox mustang. but I want to keep my Pony wheels (I know! sounds crazy trying to stay to 4-lug pattern), so I was wondering if I can put a 4-lugs rotor on a SN95 spindles, and still take advantage on the 2-piston caliper?

any suggestion!?

Any Suggestions?

im not sure if can/want to do that, I made some research about fox mustang front brake upgarde, and I think i manna get a caliper from 86-91 Lincoln Mark VII, supposely, it has a 73mm piston, compared to our stock 60mm..that's bring me to my new question, How's the Remanufactured caliper from Autozone, has anyone used tis before, should I stay away from them and look for the original mark VII caliper?
