Your wheel selection will not be that great as 94-04 wheels will not clear that dust cap. You will have to bash it in. Plus who wants to go through the effort of doing 5 lug and keep the drums?

It's basically just the brakes you have no plus a 5th lug. No improvement at all other than having brand new rotors and drums. It's basically Mark 7 front rotors and Ranger 9" drums and axles

99+ calipers will work up front using 94-95 spindles. Take a look at this: http://sn95brakes.com/sn95brakes.php You may have to do some clearancing.

The rear calipers should also work but you I have read of problems using the 99+ anti-moan brackets. The same person recommended 94-98 anti-moan brackets with success.

I don't really notice any difference between the 99+ anti-moans and 94-98 antimoans. They appear identical to me but i could be wrong since i'm going by a visual of the brackets on my '03 vs a pair off an '97

From Mustangmotorsport.com:
"Next up is the subject of anti-moan brackets. I had someone send me some brackets that they claimed were from a 99GT. When I tried to install them, I noticed they were too short in length if I tried to mount the U-bolt thru the shock mounting bracket. If I placed the U-bolt on the outside of the shock mounting bracket, the anti-moans didn't quite fit, but I could have bent them slightly to make them fit. I have seen pics of people making these 99-up brackets fit with some force, but I decided to get rid of them and buy some correct length 94-98 anti-moan brackets which fit perfect. The 99-up unit is on the left, and the sn95 is on the right."

I guess there is a slight difference in length? I used a pair off a 94 and they fir perfectly.

Actually it makes sense then i guess considering the 99+ axle is wider and then needed to make them fit in the quad shock mount slots.

I went with Cobra parts so i never investigated GT parts that closely
