I tried searching, but wasnt sure how to phrase this.

I have 95 Brakes, stainless lines and spindles on the front of my car(came that way). What do i need to do to run 99+ brakes on the front end?

Sn95 Brake upgrades

Look halfway down the page.

Make sure you get the correct banjo bolts for the PBR calipers, they changed the thread pitch over the years. Someone on here was having a hard time finding a banjo bolt for his calipers.

If your car has 96+ spindles no clearancing needed.

You may already have the correct banjo too. 99-00 PBR's were fine thread while 01-04 PBR's are course thread. Depending on which PBR's you get, your current banjo bolt might already work.

An OEM banjo bolt won't work because it's too long. The tough part is tracking down a shorter version of it to work with the aftermarket SS lines. Not that easy.

PBR Brakes

PBR International Limited

It's the name of the company in Australia that makes a lot of OEM brake calipers for vehicles. They make the 94-04 Cobra caliper and the 99-04 GT/V6 caliper.

Varga is the company that makes the rear calipers
