Hello
I’m trying to figure out what I’ll need to swap to all disk and 5 lug setup. I’ll be getting :
94/95 spindles
03/04 Cobra calipers and brackets
03/04 Cobra rotors
Axles for rear (5 lug)
Brake hoses

My questions are:
What year car front struts do I buy
What year brake hoses do I get
Do I need master cylinder, brake booster, proportion valve and what year and car (gt, cobra, v6?

Any help or advice would be appreciated

If your car is an 87-93 V8 car, your current struts are fine.

If you are leaving the rear drums, no need to change the MC booster. In fact, there is no proper MC for the setup but the stock MC is close with rear drums.

You'll want to gut the prop vskve with the prop vskve plug, and install and adjustable valve on the line running to the rear drums.

That setup will be prone to locking the front drivers brake before the pass side due to the MC feeding direct pressure to this brake.

Yes currently I have a 93 Gt. So If I wanted new struts , I just order 93 gt ones correct? Not 94/95 because it’s the spindles from a 94/95?

I want to have disk brakes in the rear also.

The struts for a 1993 will work fine on the sn95 spindles.

If running rear sn95 disks, you'll want a 1" bore 1993 Cobra MC and booster to run the 99-04 Cobra front calipers.

The 1993 cobra and 94-95 SN95 booster are tandem 205mm boosters. That doesn't translate to either dimension you give so not sure what he's looking up. The original fox booster is smaller
