v6 and gt are spindles/hubs are the same. get some from a 94-95 and mate them with PBR or even better the cobra calipers from a 99+

from a sn95 94-95 is what id get. spindles ect. everything. v6 or gt doesn't matter. or go cobra. you could get them from a 96 up as well. whats the back spacing of the 18's? that will help you deciding what setup to go with. iirc 96+ will suck the wheel in a little more? don't quote me on that. there's a thread in the thread of stickies for wheels and back spacing. look though that with what 25th mustang is running. for the rear you can either do what us cheaper broke folks do with ranger axles and drums or go disk.
Actually, just the opposite, '96+ spindles push the front wheels outward. Bad if you are running 9 inch wheels, you need all the fender clearance you can get. 94-95 spindles are your best bet.
You need to go over to Tech and look in the stickies. There is a thread dedicated to this subject with some good links in it.
ryan, didnt you use ranger rotors and that is why you are running a spacer to clear the dust cap?

I'm not sure how the Deep Dish 9" versions match up to the non deep dish ones. I have the non deep dish out front with 94/95 spindles, rotors and calipers.
Kabukinotch has the 9" DD out back and 9" regulars out front. He might know the BS and offset of the two.

I had to buy my wheels from two different vendors since AM didnt offer the non-deepdish 9's, I got the REAR 18x9's from AM and the fronts from Volpaz which is out now out of business.
I am running 94 spindles up front here are the wheel specs for all 4 corners which is why the rear sit in some.
18x9's
5.95 backspacing
24MM offset

For fox body cars wanting to run 18X9 wheels up front you must use 94-95 spindles. They will sit inside the lip.
96-04 spindles WILL push the wheel and tire out past the lip. The max wheel and tire you can run on a fox with 96-04 spindles is a 17X8 with a 245/255 tire.

Either way works...it's up to you.
94-95 ball joints enables you to disregaurd the spacers. They will also cost you around 55-65 dollars each for a good brand (not cheap Autozone China stuff)...BUT they are new so you'll have a peice of mind that your car will handle better.
The spacers will cost you a few dollars at Lowes or Home Depot. I used 2 on each side but it could have used 3 on each side. This saves you money, but you still have your old, worn out FOX ball joints.
If money is not an option....buy new ball joints.
