Searched but didn't find my exact set up.

I have done the 5lug swap and I would like to upgrade to the 13" rotors and the 10th Anv. Cobra calipers. (m-2320-af). I have rear drum and the factory mc and booster.

Will I be okay with my stock mc and booster? I did the sn95 spindles. Will the lines hook up to these new calipers or do I need new lines?

Thanks

I plan on doing rear disk, and know I will need to upgrade the mc and booster, but I was hoping to do it one step at a time and get the front done first.

No way the stock Master cylinder is going to support those brakes. Mine couldn't even support Lincoln calipers with drums in the back (this was a long time ago).

Stock booster will work.
