I finally picked up some spindles, rotors, and calipers off of a '97 mustang, and will be picking up the ranger axles shortly to do the rear. Just wondering what other parts I need to get the fronts brakes taken care of? I'm hoping to keep my stock master cylinder.
 
What I learned from doing this conversion.

I just completed mine yesterday. Make sure that you have the banjo bolts, that hold brakehose on, from the donor car. You will need to use the brakehose from the 93, new crush washers, and the SN95 banjo bolts. The banjo bolts from the 93 will not work on the newer calipers. Not sure about the brake master cylinder, my car started as a 4 cylinder car so I just replaced it to be safe.

If your car started out as a 4 cylinder car you will need to get GT front brake hoses, as well as new struts, and master cylinder.

Did you use the drivers or passenger side axles from the ranger. Also on the rear, are there any other parts needed other than the axles?
 
I don't want to butt in on this thread, but I have a similar question about the M/C. I am doing 94/95 front brakes and drums out back. BUT i plan on doing cobra brakes down the line (probably within a year), so I'll have to change the M/C again won't i? What is the best way of going about this?
