I am converting my 93 gt to disc all around with 94+ gt or v-6 brake components. I am going to be running 15" draglites so I cant go cobra brakes. I am using spindles on a 94-95 gt or v-6 (which I hear will not change the width of the front end as long as I use fox length a-arms, correct me if I am wrong?? and I think I am going with MM as I am doing a coil over also). I also need to know what caliper should I use? Do I go with stock 94-95 and rebuild them from a junkyard? Or do I buy aftermarkets if they are better and which ones, where do I get them? I dont care to pay a descent price if they are better than stock ones. Also, what rotors are worth the money?

You are correct about the 94-95 spindles and fox a-arms. That will keep your stock front track. You could go with stock 94-95 calipers, but if you want better braking a set of 99+ dual piston PBR calipers would get the job done nicely. They will bolt right onto the 94-95 spindles. You just have to grind a very little bit around the mounting holes to make them fit.

The 99-04 GT PBR's will fit under the 15" wheels

Are the PBR factory calipers? Where to get them? Also what about rotors and the rear calipers?

rear calipers just get off any 94/95 v6 gt (96+ might work to) the PBR calipers are dual piston aluminum calipers that came on all 99+ mustangs except cobras, mach 1s, and bullits. so they are stock equipment. if your using stock fox lenth rear calipers, you need a special caliper bracket, go to northracecars.com for it. if your using sn95 length axles, use the stock caliper and stock caliper mounts.
For the front, if you need 15 inch rims, do this: 94/95 V6/GT spindles w/ 99+V6/GT calipers, the spindles need a little clearancing, but they will work.
Other things to take into consideration: Master Cyl/ Brake booster, new prop valve, 3-2 conversion, matching up all the brake lines, and the .330 inch spacer for the ball joint.

I already have the brakets to install 94-04 calipers on the rear and keep stock track width. If I get 94-95 spindles, can I go with any year 94-04 calipers on the front and rear? Also where do I need to get master cylinder, prop. vavle, and all other components for the install?
