Alright guys I want your opinions on this kit (ignore the price).

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/87-93-MUSTANG-5-0-BAER-5-LUG-CONVERSION-W-SN-95-SPINDLE_W0QQitemZ260134084374QQihZ016QQcategoryZ33564QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Do you think it seems complete and will work o.k.? I spoke with the seller and he said the spindles were from either a 94 or 95.......so that checked out. He said the master cylinder was a cobra model (I'm assuming the same one used in the ford M-2300-K kit). The one thing I'm worried about is the rear rotors lining up in the center of the caliper....he said no shims were included, but that I wouldn't need them. Anyway, tell me what ya'll think...I know the price is high, but it's only a couple hundred more than the m2300k kit and has better parts (assuming it's complete). Thanks in advance.

AAAHHHH - the price, the price, the price!!!! AAAAHHHHHH!!!!!


OK - now that I got it out of my system, it looks fairly complete. The only thing I don't see is a way to mount the rear calipers.
Here's a link to a kit I am putting together. It's not the same stuff (your kit is better), but it will give you an idea of the parts needed to do a similar conversion:

Thanks for the info. If I wasn't lazy I would put together a kit like yourself and save some $. I think the kit does have the brackets to mount the rear calipers (they are sitting just to the right of the rear calipers in the picture of the kit). I'll ask just to make sure though. Anyway, thanks again and good luck on your upgrade.

Overpriced Cobra kit IMHO


Basically the baer kit is a C4 corvette baer kit. The front setup is EXACTLY the same as the Cobra except with bling bling rotors and Baer on the calipers.

You could peice a Cobra kit together for $1000 and that would be for practically all new stuff. I don't think the extra $1500 justifies saving a little bit of legwork and research

Talk to Richard at North Race Cars befor eyou buy! He is THE MAN when it comes to 5 lug conversions on fox bodies. As a matter of fact they manufacture some trick parts to make this swapp better, AND I beleive they sell the Cobra brake stuff so if you have any questions he THE guy to talk to. I bought a fox length axle kit from him and it was the best thing I purchased for the whole swap. Their custom backing plates allow me to run hardened fox length rear 5 lug axles (bought from him) with their custom backing plates and the rear SN95 calipers.
