If I was you I would get the front spindles, brakes etc. And get the rear brakes and get some fox length axles that way you can put wider wheels and tires on the rear.

95 is perfect, you can use everything, you will need to hammer the strut tower for the booster to fit, and also elongate one of the mounting holes
also you will need gut and cap the stock propotioning valve, install and install an adjustable one
another issue will be the lines between the booster and prop valve, the threads arent the same, what I did was install the fittings from Fox onto the SN95 lines on the proportioning valve side, if you go this route you will need a double flaring tool.
You will need some hard line adapters also, (1) Weatherhead 7828 for the passenger side front and (2) Weatherhead 7818 fittings for the rear, Napa has Weatherhead brand fittings.
If you keep the Fox ball joints, you will need a spacer under the ball joint nut, I used (2) 5/8" lock washers from Lowes on each side, together they equaled .330" exactly, a bent them flat before installing them.
The rear brake lines are too long also, I just made a loop in the line by wrapping them around a socket.
You can use Fox length axles by purchasing different brackets from North Race Cars, be sure to get the ones for GT brakes and not Cobra
Thanks for that info. i should have the car by next week and start taking it apart. lol :thumbsup1:
ok still havent done the brake swap.:thumbsdown1: I was wondering the different fitting you have to get for the pass side is that just if you change the master cylinder. I was just going to change to capilers, spindles and rotors. Do i need anything speaial for that.

the fitting on the passenger side has to be changed in order for the sn95 caliper hose to connect to the stock fox hardline. As far as adding the sn95 calipers with the fox mastercylinder - I wouldn't. The stock fox master cylinder is too small for the sn95 calipers. Your pedal would probably be really hard. Do it right the first time. Its a safety thing. Don't be intimidated by the booster/mastercylinder swap...its one of the easier parts of the job. I didn't have to hammer my strut tower as some other fox owners have to. Enlongating the bolt holes is easy. The hardest part of that is getting to the booster bolts under the dash...have a good drop light.
o ok. i nave everything i need to do it just didnt kow how hard it was. How long do you think it will take.

My brother & I did mine in a day & a half. It would've been quicker if I hadn't had to run all over town trying to find a new bleeder screw. GRRRR
you WILL NOT be able to use the complete 95 rear end and your rear wheels. that reat end will push the wheels out 3/4" per side. you will HAVE to use the ranger axles and north race car brakets. you will need cobra rotors and thinner rear brake pads though.
theres a **** ton of information you need to know.
here's the installation instructions for the mk2300 kit from ford. its similar to what you have, only with bigger front brakes. they use sn96 length axles in the rear though.

it details the modifications you will have to make to your ebrake handle, and the ebrake cables you will need. you will have to decide if you want to use your proportionvalve and modify it, or use the sn95 one.
hell if you wanna talk on the phone pm me your number and a good time to call you... preferably between 9-10pm.
yea ok. I wasnt gonna do the back just yet. i was really worried about the fronts. I know i look at the braket and it was like 200 bucks.
guy on corral was making them and selling them for $90 shipped... but he got a letter from NRC and got scared.

That sucks too.... NRC has got to be making a killing on those things.
Glad I got a set from that guy on the Corral before he quit making them. :)

i dont see how nrc could have a patent on them, or any claim to them. but all he had to do was add some little thing that he claimed did something... and he would have been home free... it's a shame though :-/
ive thought about asking him to sell me a large quantity of them... then selling them on my own.
