well i found that braking abillity was crap even with the brakes properly bled. upgrading the booster is MANDATORY if you want to feel the benefits of the cobra brakes, and some will tell you the 93 booster is the way to go, i disagree go with the 95 cobra booster you wont regret it.

I just used a oem new brake booster, I tried to use one from a 93 svt cobra but it was to tight of a fit to get it in between the strut tower and fire wall for some odd reason. I guess their strut towers are further forward.

Actually, the 93 Cobra booster is just bigger than the stock fox booster. I had to elongate one of my mounting holes for the booster in order to angle the 93 Cobra unit in. Once you get it bolted in there its a PERFECT fit behind the strut tower. Any bigger and it wouldn't fit at all.
