hey, putting 95 spindles on my 85 gt, just wondering what year calipers will work on the 95 spindles. Will only the 95 calipers work, or will calipers from 96 to 98 work also, and will 99 to 2004 calipers work too, thanks.

that is correct...but to always be safe just wait for another person or two to chime in ....though you will need to adapt the soft brake lines from sn95 to the fox stock hardlines unless youre changing them as well.

and If I just run drum brakes on the back, do I still have to upgrade the master cylinder and brake booster?

you'll probably have to grind a bit off the spindle for the 99-04 v6/gt twin-pistons, because theyre a bit bigger in the back (bolt on the same though, and same rotors), the sticky should point that out if its the one im thinking of. 94-04 cobra parts bolt right on as well.

didnt see this in my first post, but you SHOULD, especially with the 02 calipers, though with the 94-98 calipers you MIGHT be ok. personally, with brakes, i'd rather be safe than sorry. i got my reman'd 93 cobra cylinder and booster for ~$200-$250 iirc, good insurance to have.

Yes and no.

With the stock drums out back, you haven't changed the fluid demands that much. The disk brake MC's are too large and may give you a hard pedal.

However, the 99-04 calipers are larger and do require a little more fluid. You may find the pedal a little soft in which case a 94-95 cobra MC might give you what you need.

Actually, since you have an '85...you might be able to run the 79-82 7/8" bore MC. It's 22.2MM in diameter and might be perfect for the 99-04 calipers

your 85 has a 21mm mc bore, so the sligh increase might compensate for the larger fluid volume of the 99-04 calipers

94-98 GT's and V6's are all the same up front. Doesn't have to be from a 95


Change in front calipers was in 1999

No, 96 and up spindles are too wide to work well with the stock fox control arms and k-member. You want 94 or 95 spindles.
