If you are doing a complete brake swap over including the prop valve, then do yourself a favor, and get the one wilwood sells that also has the proportioning valve and bias adjuster combined as a unit.
As many spacers as I have piled on top of my 94 drop leg spindle to try and correct bumpsteer, a pair of 96 units would’ve cut that down by half. I think you’ll be good going with them.

96 spindles are coming my way so that part is set in stone. I like the idea of the all in one unit, I need to find it.

Does anyone know if the sve NVX wheels fit with the ATS calipers?
I really need those rims for my car.

a91what · Jun 18, 2020

Looked around for hours last night trying to find a fitment chart... does anyone know if there is a resource page somewhere.

Also I need to know if these axles will allow for proper backspacing on the rear tire. I want to try and fit a 285 on a 10" rim with cobra disk brakes

This was a thread I came across. Not sure if there is any difference in hub center size between fox 4 lug and 5 lug axles. Seemed legit...and cheap.

Build Thread - Fox Length Axles And Stock Sn95 Brake Brackets

Alright as many of you know, an SN95's axles are 3/4 of an inch longer than fox length axles. So, this puts the brake location out farther. Most people just go out and buy special bracket kits to make fox length axles work with SN brakes. Well I decided not to do this. Here's what I did: I...

That is a cheap option for the brackets. I need to check the axle we have and see what it has hanging on it. We are going to leave that one be as its getting used in a falcon project.

I just need to decide on the GT rear brakes or Cobra.... I like the idea of the larger rotor for looks but if it is unnecessary for the extra cost, then there are the taurus calipers.. I need to figure out what brackets I need if I decide to run those and what the benefit is. I have a partial parts list so far, I need to figure out what soft lines I need for the front and rear as well.

@Mustang5L5

Don't the 93 Ford Taurus rear Caliper directly swap for the sn95 rear Calipers? Do they fit the V6/GT smaller rotor or have to use the larger Cobra rotor?

Figured this would be the best setup these days. I have been thinking of getting these rear calipers to replace the standard V6/GT calipers I have now

They will fit either the GT/V6 setup, or the Cobra setup. It's a good option to use the smaller rotor, but still retain decent rear braking power while clearing 15" wheels.

The downside is you need to upsize your MC about 1/16" going from the 38mm to the 43mm rears. If you are running ATS fronts with the 43mm rears, you will need the 1 1/16" MC from a 94-95. I know of someone trying it with the 1" 93 Cobra MC and finding they ran out of pedal and needed to go larger.

The downside that many are finding out about the ATS brembos however, is that they usually require a spacer to clear certain wheels due to spoke clearances. That's why I haven't installed mine (other than the car being down) is because I am not sure they will clear the aftermarket wheel i have in mind.

I have a small lathe and plan to cut the ears down to get the correct placement over the rotor, I dont mind running a spacer as long as the wheels fit... or I can make them fit, then car needs paint so If I have to move the fender I will.
I have a 93 MC on the way so that pretty much locks me into the GT rears, I will want them to fit a 15" rim in the off chance I borrow a set of real tires at the track.
Thanks.

General karthief · Jun 18, 2020

I don't know what to think. All this 'can I use this if my that fits I use a lathe to turn another that down so something else can be used if I need to because that needs to be bigger if this is put on backwards on tuesday'.
I have a headache and it ain't even my car!

a91what · Jun 19, 2020

Thats ok JR, you just need more coffee.

I now have 90% of what I need on its way to the house, I still need to order the axles I posted above... only a few things I still am uncertain on.
-what rear brake lines do I need and will I need an adapter
-what front brake lines do I need and will I need an adapter
-I want to run a fairly large tire up front, what A-arm will work best/give me more clearance, I am assuming MM but figured I would ask.

General karthief · Jun 19, 2020

I need to make a road trip to your side of the corridor and see what stuff I can pilfer from the pile of parts you have removed from EB.
And give you those doors

???????? You mean subframe connectors? The kind almost every fox convertible has welded in? Or are we talking about something else?

Torque box reinforcements

Mstng93SSP · Jun 21, 2020

Ok. I am pretty sure you can, but you have to make modification to the factory reinforcements which are basically pop riveted in at the factory. I have never done it on my car but I have seen it done on other convertibles. On the subframe connectors same deal, I had to modify the factory reinforcement panels when I welded in my connectors.

I have a massive list of parts on the way to the house.
-31spline fox length axles with 95 flanges
-new 31spline FordRacing trac lock
-cobra 38mm calipers
-11.65" rotors
-needed brackets for the calipers
-new hoses for the rear, I plan to cut the factory lines and flare with a proper fitting
-ATS calipers
-13" rotors
-96 spindles
-new hubs
-93 cobra booster
-prop valve and plug
- line adapter

I think that's everything I need

Rims and tire are to be determined
