Im doing a 5 lug swap with '94 front brakes for better stopping. Im still leaving the rear drums for now though.+
'94+ brakes are alot better than fox brakes.

If you want some advice, a budget would be helpful.

See http://www.svo73mm.cjb.net/ for everything you could want to know about Mustang brakes, budget upgrades and more. This is not a site to just sell you stuff, but a how to do it site.
