With the stock 60mm calipers, and t-bird 45mm rear calipers, the correct MC is the 1993 cobra 1" MC

With the larger 73mm calipers, and the 45mm rears, the 1994-1995 mustang gt/v6 mc with 1 1/16" bore may work well for your application.

The svo with the 73mm calipers and 54mm rears use a 1 1/8" bore mc....so thatsmwhy insuggest the 1 1/16" mc may be the perfect match.

I don't have a pn since it's an auto parts store mc, and there are different brands. They can also be had for $20-25 used off eBay or junkyard

You may need to upgrade the booster as well...to 1993 cobra or 94-95 mustang

Didn't you do the swap without changing the rearend?

What did you do about the brackets. At $150, those are ridiculous.

I used the sn95 brackets. I bought the m-2300-k kit.

Ford Racing M-2300-M - Ford Racing Mustang GT Rear Brake Bracket Kits - Overview - SummitRacing.com

Doesn't include the axles, calipers, brake line and e-brake stuff. It's also 5 lug.

i have 4 lug also have SSBC rear disc brake kit, up front I have stock calipers with brembo slotted and drilled rotors with hawk hp pads my car stops great pedal feels nice very satisfied with braking. Really the only reason I would ever change to 5 lug is for better wheel selection.
