You can use everything except the axles and the brake lines.

You will need 94-98 axles and 94-95 rear brake soft lines.


That's in addition of course to the front and MC/booster changes you will need.

Oh yeah, it's 5 lug too if you didn't notice

Mike is correct, (as usual!) The axles and rear end housing on the 03 are too wide for your Fox 8.8 rear end. The 94-98 axles are longer than the Fox axles, but will work with the disc calipers and brackets just like on the 94-98 cars on your rear end.

Read 87-93 Mustang 5.0 Brake upgrade pages. Improve your 60-0 times! , the 5 lug upgrade pages, and you will see all the swap info.

If you by chance have some aftermarket 5 lug axles you want to keep, you can use special brackets or modify the stock brackets to mount the 03 parts on your Fox axles. We can point you in that direction if you need the info.

Good luck on it if you decide to do it.

Then here is the bracket mod thread if you want to go that route:

Brake guys, critique this: ranger axles on rear disk swap, w/modified SN brackets - Corral Forums

The custom brackets can be bought from North Racecars Cobra Replica and Mustang Parts Connection for about $150 or from my friend, Neighbors is his name on here. He sells behind the flange mounted brackets on ebay as Neighbors_Industries for about half that.
