While I'm rebuilding my rearend and rear suspension I've decided that I'm going to do the M2300K Brake Kit. I'm going to be running 31 Spline axles though and I'm wondering if I order standard fox 5 lug 31 spline axles if I will have to do anything special or have any clearance issues installing the kit. Also is there a difference between axles for drum brakes and axles for discs? Thanks for the help.

the mk2300 kit uses 94/95 mustang axles which are .75" longer per side the stock. you can use north race car brackets to work with stock length axles. i have heard one of two people say that the moser axles and some disk seem to have some minor fitment issues, but a few minutes on a lathe makes them fit, but this is purely hearsay. depending on what wheels you want to run will determine which axles you should use. i wet with stock length axles because i had to in order to run the wheels i wanted.

Thanks. That's what I wanted to know. I'll surely be running stock fox length axles cuz I'm going to need every bit of room for wheels and tires.

yeah, just resel the 94/95 axles and brackets. then use your axles with the NRC brackets. you may run into a small kink with the brake hoses/lines for the rear.

Thanks for all the input NOVA. If I have to tweak the brake lines a bit to compensate for the length I think I can manage. As long as I can get the setup the way I want it I don't mind a bit of extra work.

If you aren't going to use the brackets or axles.
Just compile the parts yourself, and use 94/95 front spindles.
Costs much less
