So it was time to replace my brake and rotors and I guess my calipers too. I have a 1988 fc convertible and it has a 5 lug hub. I can’t find replacement calipers for it and they don’t exist in parts stores in person or online , is there any calipers form any other cars that would match or what do I do? What are my option?

Have you thought about rebuilding the calipers? I think Ray Crowe still has the OEM rebuild kit seals to do a rebuild.

Calipers do not exist except for new, which are around $600 for the rears from the mother land. Don't know about the fronts. I called Centric on Dec 22nd, which is the best option for remans. They will not have stock until March. Rear remans from them are around $125 each. The rebuild kits are available now and there is a great YouTube series on how to rebuild them from Icon Garage. Ray, the parts God, can hook you up, I'm for sure. Rebuild kit runs around $100. On the side, be very careful whilst handling the brake piping. N to the LA. If you jack a hard line up, you will have to source used or fab one, which actually isn't difficult to do.
