If they are 94/95, they should be good.
From pictures we here will never know how well they spin, but you don't hear of many issues.

Mine cost me $150 and were rusted up.
I painted them up and used them, and that was years ago.

they are still working on your car now? nice stang btw

i want to put the kit together myself...ive been looking at getting new 94-95 cross-drilled 11" rotors from ford racing...they look like nice rotors.

2000xp8 · Dec 25, 2009

ya, mine are fine.
Where you get the rotors is trivial, they are probably brembo anyway.
I got mine years ago NIB brembo drilled/slotted for $125 for the front set.

pulling your own you can get them for 75, i use to go to yards and pull spindles, sandblast them and paint them in high temp epoxy for around 100 bucks came out pretty damn clean too

JustaMustangguy · Dec 25, 2009

That seems like a decent price for them. Like some other members said, your best bet might be going to a local junk yard. fyi

That's based on your location.
Some states don't have many u pulls left, and nj is one of them, i guess insurance reasons.
Then you have the fact that mustangs all seem to land up in the same yards around here, so parts are at a premium because most of them know how important and useful certain parts are.

$75 is what I've always been quoted and they'll pull 'em off. I just never got any since I've always had too many other projects going at once.

Mustang5L5 · Dec 26, 2009

The price of spindles seems to always climb. Not talking about j/y prices, but the use market. Used to be $75/pair then $100/pair and now around 150/pair.

I remember i bought my 94/95 spindles off ebay 7 or 8 years ago for $125+ shipping and thought i was getting hosed.

Well, i didn't mean a the kind of junk yard that you pull your own parts. I just purchased a set of 1994 spindles from a junk yard in Iowa(over 400miles from me) for $65.00 plus 15.00 shipping. All junk yards will ship(atleast i haven't found one that won't). Now they said i could have the hub assemblys too. But i just purchased new ones from AutoZone so i only needed the spindle. But they also sent me the hub mounting nut, the cap, and the spindle to strut and caliper mounting bolts for free as well. I've had awesome luck dealing with junk yards. Good parts, good pricing, and have always got the part when they said i would. I suggest calling around! fyi

killer5.0 · Dec 27, 2009

thanks but i just bought those ones i posted about b4 i saw your post...i need to get hub assemblies....how much did they run you? also i will be selling all my stock stuff but not until spring when i do the conversion....just getting everything as i find a good deal.

Repostyle · Dec 28, 2009

Hmm... I paid $40 a side complete w/brakes... Guess I got a better deal than I thought! J/Y's FTW!

Buying anything from autozone will usually result in a loss of money, maybe not today, and maybe not tomorrow, but it will happen, trust me.
Economize by using ford parts to begin with, a lesson i have learned too many times.

those dont look too bad. if they came with the calipers and mounting brackets I would say jump all over it....

killer5.0 · Dec 28, 2009
