FWIW here is the list from Mustang Motorsport for the brake hose fittings along with the parts to make the 3-2 port conversion. I priced it and that stuff adds up fast.

better then the fox body crap. plans for my car is to see alot of corners this summer so i need better brakes. hence the reason to sn95 brakes. then when i come across some cobra calibers or like your said the PBR calibers ill snag them up. turbocoupe rear disk's are whats next though. my buddy has stock front brakes and then a turbocoupe rear and wow what a difference.
or you could try my setup out, seems to handle wellCorners??? uh-oh. You better get some polyurethane sway bar bushings and end links too. EVERY single fox I had seen has blown out rubber bushings since they are so old now. I replaced them in my black notch and in Hack Job. The black notch I had a before and after to compare and it did handle slightly stiffer. There was almost nothing left on the drivers side bushings...lol
BTW..V8 convertibles have huge factory sway bars. I wouldn't bother wasting my time on an aftermarket one. The V8 convertable bars are solid steel. They are like 1-1/6" or 1-1/8" thick. 50resto had the bushings in stock. I measured it with an open end of a Craftsman wrench. Worked perfectly.
Get some Strange 10ways too.
So wait..
you're getting sn95 spindles too? if you keep the stock fox spindle you don't need new ball joints.
sure but he wouldnt be able to run SN brake rotors, if he wanted to keep the fox rotors with the SN95 brakes
sorry dude but if you want your car to handle the corners at all your gonna need to upgade ALOT more than the brakes alone, hell the brakes arent gonna keep you from flying off of cliffs in the canyons, only slow you down before you go over the edge.

either way i dont NEED new bal joints. ill do like others have donw with the 5/8's washers stacked .330 high.
I'll be honest with you Ryan. Do not be afraid to change ball joints. I did in my project and it was not bad at all. If you wanted or considered swapping to the sn95 ball joints let me know and i'll hit you with a PM of how i did it etc.
its just not needed and they dont fit the fox lower arms the best.
how about doin a tubular k member?
i did them on a feinds 95 v6 mustang last week. its just not needed and they dont fit the fox lower arms the best.
I'm sorry but this is wrong. Also, I don't understand the thinking. Your gonna change ball joints anyways? Why not get the the upgraded "lower friction" ball joints for 96+ and not have to worry about the spacers(it's like a 5-minute process and they fit fine). It would be different if your not going to change ball joints. Also I would upgrade the worn out a-arm rubber bushings. Your also planning to race this car with this type of attitude. Good luck keeping the car together and the parts stores are gonna love you. Not trying to attack you, you might want to adjust the way you think about things. Most will find it is better to take a little more time, a little more exspense to do it right once and not do it wrong multiple times. jmho.
