Yes there is. It's not as cheap as the '87-'93, but it involves those calipers.

You will need: '87-'93 spindles, rotors, flexlines,and the lincoln 73mm calipers.

If you do your shopping in the junkyard, you should be able to do it cheap. I would strongly reccomend that you only use the spindles from the scrapyard and buy everything else new. If you luck out you may be able to find decent rotors and the Lincoln calipers at the wreckers too. If you buy the rotors new, you are going to need the bearings that go in the back of them as well.

The upgrade should be rather cheap IMHO. You need some 87-93 stang spindles - CHEAP if not damn near free from guys that do the SN95 Upgrade.

ROTORS
5 lug (ranger/MarKVII)
4 lug (87-93 mustang)

Calipers
60mm Mustang
73mm MarkVII

Flexlines = 87-93 brake lines
NO you will not need the MC

The flex line attaches at the frame and goes to the caliper. You get the flex line at the same time as the caliper. Of course, you could always buy stainless steel, but that is another $100.
