Why won't 2005+ brakes fit on 1996-2004 spindles?

The 2005+ 14" brake kits are reasonably priced, but everyting I read says that they won't fit on any Mustang older than 2005. Are the spindles drastically different?

Next question in line then, Does the spindle from an 05+ work on the 96-04 vehicles??

You might as well ask how to put a Honda Civic caliper onto a Mustang.

Totally different suspension designs.


The only reason the Fox and SN95's are interchangable is because they are the same basic chassis.

The 05+ is a total redesign, so nothing swaps over really
