I am confused as to which brake line kit to use. What is the difference between the different braided stainless steel brake line kits produced. I have 5 lug converson on my 90 GT with Bullitt brakes but I want to put it all on my 95 GT and swap the 95 stuff to the 90. I got these brakes off a parts car I bought on Ebay but it has stock Cobra lines on it. I want the good stuff but which one do I get? On ebay, they list 2 different cobra brake line kits... one for 94-95 and one for 96-2001. Which one do I get? I'm assuming the 96-2001 because the calipers I have are Bullitt style. One more quick question, do I change my master cylinder or brake booster or is it the same as a Cobra? I never got around to putting it on the 90 GT. If someone could help, I'd appreciate it.

I would try the 94-95 brake lines.

As for the MC, there are four bolts under the dash which can a pain. Take out the bolts, disconnect the pedal from the MC, and pull the MC out. The new MC going on the 90 will not want to fit, it didn't want to on mine. I just lined up the bolts and put a 2x4 on the end of the MC, and tapped the MC in place.

Thanks for the input but I think I worded the last part wrong. I meant to ask, "do I change my master cylinder or brake booster ON MY 95 GT or is it the same as a Cobra? I never got around to putting it on the 90 GT (I never had time and trust me, the brakes never felt like Cobra brakes without that MC and brake booster installed) so when I switch the brakes over, do I need to install that Cobra booster and MC or do the 95 GT ones fit the bill for the Cobra brake upgrade?

I would think the 95 GT's MC is the same as the Cobra's. For the junkyard brake upgrade, it's just said to get a 94-95 MC, nothing about only getting a v6, GT, or Cobra.

MM Braided lines are a direct fit as you do not have to use an adapter on the passenger side, nor do you have to grind out the brackets. You will have to check with the tech dept on which year lines to get as there was a thread pitch change to the banjo bolts. The SN95 Cobra M/Cs have the ports switched so they could not be installed by mistake on the assembly line.
