WHat brakes are you using in the rear??

If you are running SN95 brakes, you can use a 94-95 GT/V6 MC instead. Might be easier and cheaper to find than a '93 Cobra MC

You can get a rebuilt 93 Cobra brake Booster and that is the best choice as it has the same thread pattern and thread style on the studs as the Fox does.

Dont forget to order 2 M2809A cables

I would not waste my time with those 96 front brakes, at least upgrade to the 99 and up PBR Aluminum Calipers!

the only reason im going with the cobra MC is like shakerhood said....the BB and MC will bolt right up.....if i get the 94+ MC i could use it on my BB but if i decide to get a bigger one i will have to put new holes in the fire wall and all that good stuff...so if i can find the Cobra stuff ill just go w/ that.....

what about all my fittings for brake lines??

I'm pretty sure the 94+ MC would bolt up to a '93 Cobra booster.

There is a difference. 94-95 spindles are the stock Fox track and 96-04 spindles are 8mm wider each side. Doesn't seem like much, but with an 17x8" wheel and '95 spindles, my tires is already pretty close to the fender lip when i hit bumps.


Those are '95 Spindles. It looks like i have room but when you put your hand under the fender the tire comes pretty close to the inner fender well. Now add another 1/4" and you may hit. This is why i run 235/45/17's up front.

What spindles did he want you to get? 94-95 is what you want for sure, as listed above the 96 and up are wider and will probably rub on you. You should invest in some rack limiters while you are at it to keep your wheels from hitting the A Arms!

you will have a real negative effect on bumpsteer if you use 96+ spindles and a bumpsteer kit wont help either you MUST get the 94-95

96+ spindles will work, you just might have a little rub that's all

brake/spindle things

I ran the 96 spindles with 18X9's and the difference was 1/2 inch further out with the 96 spindles than the 1995 and it rubbed really bad could not drive it like that!
the 1995's with a bump steer kit works really well for me! A 8 inch rim might be better if the clearence is an issue

It is under the brake section on MMs Site, and they even show how you assemble your system too.
