If you're using rear discs, you're reallyin going to want the bigger brake booster. Otherwise the stock booster will make for a stiff pedal which can be annoying at times. Its up to you. Btw, Summit Racing sells the brake cables.

awesome.....one more question...would you just get a new MC and bolt it up to your stock brake booster or would you go ahead and get the 94-95 booster too???? my plans as of now is to just use the stock one

Your best bet is a Reman. 93 Cobra Booster as the stud pattern and thread pattern are the same as the Fox Cars!

Yup, you will need a spacer with 0.330" of hieght for the 94-95 spindles.

I used washers. 5/8th inside diameter is what you want.

Your not going to like it with the stock booster and then you are going to create twice as much work having to go back to swap it out later, do it once and forget about it!!!

Your best opportunity to swap the booster out is when you have everything else out of there as it is a very tight fit!

The 93 Cobra is the best choice as the stud pattern is the same as well as the thread pattern on the studs. The SN95 Boosters have the studs with a different thread pattern and not quite the same stud pattern either.
