I know that I need the 94-95 spindles, but I have a quick question. Is it all I need is the spindles or do I need the brake calipers too? Are the brake lines the same? And does it matter if the spindles are off of a car with ABS? Thanks in advance.

You will need basically everything from the spindles out. This would include the spindles, hubs, dust caps, caliper brackets, calipers and if you plan on using the stock balljoints you will need to get a .330 spacer. http://svo73mm.cjb.net/ explains it in more detail.

As with the ABS I don't believe it makes a difference whether or not it has it but im not 100% positive. The ones I got don't have ABS.

I personally just did this swap and I was alittle uneased with the spacer so I used Steeda X2 balljoints but it is really up to you. I would also recommend going with PBR brakes off a 99-04 mustang as they are dual piston as compared to the SN-95 single piston and really dominate the SN-95 brakes.

You will still use the stock 87-93 struts for the front.

Hope this clears things up.

Listen to NFGTragedy. Originally, I went with the whole washer idea on my balljoints, but when driving, I kept hearing a metallic rubbing sound - which was probably related to the washers. I ended up going with 94 Mustang Balljoints. The 94 balljoints are like the Steedas where you don't need spacers. They are cheaper than Steeda units though. I just pressed them into my original control arms. Very easy and no more metallic rubbing noise.

Same here. Used the washers at first and really had no problems, but I decided to change the ball joints with sn95 units. Now I'm much happier.
