The front is a breeze. You will also need to turn your tie rods out to get them to hook to the spindles. They take about 17-18 turns outward, this way you can get it to the alignment shop like the next day! You will also need the 94-98 calipers, brackets, rotors, and rubber flex hoses. You can also use 99-04 PBR's, they will work too. You will need to grind a small spot on the spindle for the PBR's...you will see where they rub when you try to bolt them down. Mine also required a union on the passenger side to get it to thread in the hard line.

Congrats on your excellent taste in cars (four-eye).
The fronts are easy. The rears are the tricky thing. Master cylinder and proportioning valve replacement/revision is required, etc. Booster stays. See the link twolo posted above - it really is the definitive source for all Fox brake tinkering.
So the master cylinder needs to be changed even though the rears stay drums, interesting. :
My car started as a 4cyl so I did change the booster and master from the V-8 car. But I did leave the stock 4cyl proportioning valve. If my car was an original V-8, obvisouly I would have left it.
I don't know if the PBR set up will work with the 85 stuff, it's been a while since I ave looked at an 85 booster. If it is the big one I would say it would work. You will just have to give er the old trial and error method.
You dont need to change the master cylinder if youre sticking with drums in the rear.
yea it will.. im going full 96 on all corners with 00 GT calipers and the like on my 85 GT..
You know, I just thought of something. If you use ranger rear axles will it have the same 5-lug bolt pattern as the front conversion?
Yes. Mustang wheels fit on Rangers. Theres several Rangers around here with Mustang wheels too.
