ok, heres what im looking into:

brake booster (94-94 Cobra)
master cylinder ( " " )
Bullitt calipers- F/R
Braided lines (for 94+) F/R
Spindle, Hub, and A-arm- (94-95 GT or Cobra)
Rear Bracket to Adapt SN-95 calipers to fox rear ends form north race cars (since im using Bullitt calipers, should i get the adapter for GT brakes, or Cobra brakes?)
Moser 5-lug Axles

What disks should i get? GT or Cobra? I really want to use Bullitt calpers, but are they basically the same thing as Cobras? What about Pads?

Anything I missed? please critique this, i need help to make this a good, look and performance improvement.

Bullitt calipers are the same thing as Cobra parts front and rear. So even though you are using the Bullitt stuff, assume you are doing a Cobra disk brake conversion.

Oh and on the front spindles, V6's GT's and Cobras all use the same spindles and disk backing plates. Might be cheaper to get some V6 spindles than CObra spindles. The name usually add $$

you need the cobra rotors all around and the northracecar bracket that is for the cobra brakes. it alows for the biger rear rotor, but is the same caliper as the v6-cobra. you will need **** for the ebrake to work, im not quite sure whats involved. i am in the proceses of peaceing my 5 lug cobra conversion together as well

thanks alot guys, so the spindles are the same v6/cobra, im guessin the hubs are the same too, but are the A-arms?

so the rear is ready: bullitt calipers, cobra disks and pads, braided cobra lines, and nrc adaprter plate.

but the front is a little scetchy: any spindles, any hubs (i guess) any a-arms (i guess) bullitt calipers, cobra pads, discs and braided lines, and cobra master cyl/booster

Yes, all the front parts are the same except for the rotors and calipers on V6, GT and Cobra. You don't really need the a-arm, I think it is a bit longer than the fox. If you want the SN95 spec ball joint, you can just get that part and replace it on your stock Fox A-arm. That is what I did on mine. And you still need the little stuff... adjustable propotioning valve, stock PV plug, 3 to 2 port conversion for the SN95 MC, and as mentioned, the 3 FMS ebrake cables and unless you want to reflare the rear lines, you will need adapters for the rear flex lines to the Fox hard lines, and probably an adapter for the passenger side front flex line. Matt Bobbitt has all the parts listed on his website and sells quite a few of them. http://svo73mm.cjb.net

Good luck!

yea, i knew about that site, but i completely forgot. this is what i got, let me know if im doing something wrong or if i leave anything out.

Booster: 94/95 Cobra (elongate upper pass hole downward)
MC: 94/95 Cobra (adjust for loose pedal) and must convert from 3 port to 2
PV: Gut the front (only) of the stock one, and use FMS M-2450-a to cap off (remove spring, sring seat, and rod) replace with knob style, which replaces the coupler on the pass side firewall.
Fluid: DOT 3 or 4
Lines: Braided 94/95 Cobra lines F/R (direct bolt in?)
Bracetry: Rear- Northracecar Bracet for use with Sn-95 Cobra
Front- V6 spindle, hub and a-arm (what affects does this a-arm have? can i just use a SN-95 ball joint in the Fox a-arm?)
Calipers: Bullitt F/R
Pads & Discs: 94/95 Cobra F/R

I want to covert to 5 lug as well but I want to run 18" Saleen wheels and still be able to run 15" in the rear with Slicks and skinnys in the front when I'm on the track. How much $$ does this cost? I know you have to decide on what wheels you want to run beforing making any decisions period.
