I am going to be doing a 5 lug conversion on my 91 LX. I will be going the salvage yard route, and have a few 94-04 Mustangs to acquire parts from. What I need to know is, should I get the 94-95 spindles and backing plates, and get the calipers from a 99-04? Thanks

That's the way to go; you'll need to do some minor grinding to the 94-95 spindle to get the 99-04 GT/V6 caliper to bolt on.

Thanks. I want to keep my stock rear axle under the car, so should I just get ranger axles, and drums, or is there any way to adapt the rear GT/V6 brakes?

Yes, you can use the GT/V6 rear brakes with ranger axles using the north race cars brackets.

No need to pull the axle brackets, just take the rotors, calipers, anti-moan braces and hardware. You'll also want the rear soft lines from a 1994-1995 Mustang.

Then use these axle brackets

Awesome . Thanks guys. So I'll get the 99-04 rears with the 94-95 soft lines, and ranger axles. I was trying to do do a little research, on the anti moan brackets, and some people are saying if you use the NRC brackets, you don't need them. Can anyone confirm this?

I would get them. It's hit or miss if you need them. If you are stripping the rear brake parts you might as well get them.

BTW, you can use all 94-04 rear brakes. They are the same. The only difference is the axle because the housing is wider on the 99+ cars.

So 94-04 rear brakes, dust shields, calipers, 94-95 rear soft lines, north cobra rear brackets

up front 94-95 spindles, 99+ calipers

Also try and snag an entire 94-95 v6/gt MC and booster setup
