Bigger rotors would mean some type of conversion cause your stock callipers wouldn't work.

Your best bet would be to upgrade to stock 87-93 front rotors, spindles and everything else. You could use thoe 87-93 calipers as well, but I suggest an upgrade to the 70mm Calipers that are available from your Ford dealer for a very good price. I believe they are '89 Lincoln Mark VII calipers. Combine that with a good set of brake pads up front and some good shoes and it will stop ALOT better than stock.
