I haven't seen jack down here, man. There has been exactly one SN95 at the JY I go to (Colorado Auto Parts, in Englewood) for a year or more, and it was a V6 auto. Check out www.coloradostangs.com, we've got a for sale section that usually has some goodies.

I bought my whole front used off the classifieds on www.corral.net. I bought the Calipers for $150/pr, the spindles for $100/pr and got a set of rotors with 10,000 miles used for $30.

I got my rear disk setup for $100 off the classifieds here, and got my MC and booster off Ebay for $30 combined. Then the rest was misc things like brake lines and fittings and the 3-2 conversion.

I also did mine on a college budget. It took me 6 months to track down good deals on all the parts. Mainly in between classes i would go on ebay or in the classifieds and look til i found a good deal

When i got my calipers, they looked like this


But i didn't feel like taking the wheel off every carwash to repolish, plus i wanted something flashy so i did this


SOme like it, some don't. I don't care I like it and the car stops on a dime

NeQX, check out the site that xherdlr posted. It has a lot of 5-lug info but also how to improve your braking with the 4-lug setup.

You can purchase from Baer directly. A number of advertisers on StangNet sell them as well.

I've never seen a brembo 4-lug upgrade.
