In terms of GT/V6 front brakes, then yes, 99-04 10.8 front brakes are better than 94-98 GT/V6 10.8" front brakes.
But the Cobra/Bullitt/Mach 1 13" brakes are better than both of them.
I have heard the 99+ stuff is better, but that I'm not sure.
I run stock 94/94 stuff on mine with no issues.

x2. I'm gonna be forced to use GT dual piston stuff up front on my fox with the Cobra drivetrain/cobra hydroboost. Like an idiot, I sold all my Cobra calipers, thinking I was gonna part this car, but now I'm using the drivetrain in a fox.I'm not paying 1 million dollars or whatever they want for Cobra brakes.
i got my reman calipers for 40 with pads, and my new rotors for 28 each, im sure you can get the same price since you're in the same industry too
You got reman Cobra/Mach style dual pistons for 40? Holy crap!!!Why does 50resto charge freaking 329??...plus...the price of lines. I don't care if they say "COBRA" or not. Nobody sees that while your driving.
Go with 94-95 spindles on stock ride height fox bodies. For lowered Fox bodies go with 96-04 spindles. You won't get any bump steer that way. They push the wheels out 8mm more than 94-95, but with a 17X8 wheel it will not stick out...no worries. I ran that on Hack Job.
thanx for the heads up on that! i have NOT read that anywhere else....at least not yet. i do plan to either run eibach pros or the coilover so it will get a lower stance than what it is now.
OK i'll say this before you ask, if you're going with coil overs go either MM or griggs if you're gonna do handeling stuff, QA1 is good for drag racing, stay away from granetelli and UPR coil over kits

what's going to be the difference in setup to run the 13" cobra/bullitt/mach brakes? would i still get the 99-04 spindles and just replace the rotors and calipers? or do i need to run spindles off of those specific cars?
I have zero issues with bump steer on my lowered, 94-95 spindled '86. I've even read in some places that bump steer from lowering is a myth. Get the car aligned properly and it will have similar handling with either spindle type.
SVT32VDOHC, I know that hack job was originally a 4-eye. I have problems with my 245/45 tires rubbing the wheel well liners at full lock, and I've heard this is a common problem on 4 eye cars. I don't seem to rub anywhere else. Did you have this problem with either spindle type?

Hack Job was a 4 eye, and had fox length control arms and inner tie rods. I didn't have a problem with that car rubbing. I had a problem with my black car rubbing with the 94-95 spindles.
Did teh Hack have the original 4-eye fenders and wheel well liners?
