the term SN95 refers to the platform used for the 94-98 mustangs. Just like the FOX platform was used from 79-93. So when somebody refers to sn95 spindles they're talking about ones off of a 94-98 cars. The ones from the 96-98 cars will provide a wider track width up front.

Correct, except SN95 refers to 1994-2004 Mustangs.

94-95 Spindles will retain stock track while 96-04 spindles increase 8mm each side.

Also, the rear disk brakes from 94-04 are the same, except the 99-04 uses longer axles due to its increased rear track. You can use 99-04 rear disks, but you must use 94-98 axles with them.

Any front Rotor 94-04 will work.

Just gotta use 10.9" rotors when using GT/V6 calipers and 13" rotors when using Cobra calipers.

Also, a good upgrade if sticking with the 10.9" stuff is to use 99-04 GT dual piston calipers. They will bolt onto all year SN95 spindles but will require slight grinding for 94-95 spindles.

All it would take are:

North Cobra brackets (GT or CObra)

Sn95 rear calipers

GT or CObra rotors

Brake line hardware

You should install an aftermarket prop valve with any non-stock brake upgrade, so i you don't have one by that point you will need it.
