The front spindles, rotors, & calipers from the 87 - 93 would be a good upgrade to your 86.

To add to that, the V8 parts would be an upgrade. 4 banger stuff is the same.

What was there to fix? He specified 87 - 93 Mustangs, nothing about aftermarket or other options. For a budget upgrade going from 10" disc to 11" is a good upgrade.

Yeah my bad I should have specified 5.0 parts, like so many I just made the assumption he would look for the 5.0 parts.
