To clarify

94-95 spindles are the same, 96-04 spindles are the same

However, the actual brakes from 94-98 are the same...front and rear

you could but the track width is wider...and im not sure if it requires more work or not as far as balljoints and k-member...easiest is 94-95 spindles and 94-98 calipers and rotors...actually rotors should be the same from 94-04. 99-04 uses a slightly bigger caliper.

Rotors are 100% interchangable.

You can run 2004 GT/V6 10.8" rotors on 1995 spindles and the other way around. You could run 1997 brake rotors on 2004 V6 spindles with 1994 GT/V6 calipers.

Same for Cobra 13" rotors. You could run 1994 rotors on 2004 spindles with 1995 Cobra brakes.


You can use the 96-04 spindles on a fox, but there the geometry does change slightly and it's not ideal. 94-95 spindles are ideal, but there are plenty of guys running 1996+ spindles.

The 94-95 tend to be a little more expensive to purchase used.


ALl my posts refer to front brake setups only
