I wouldn't do it the 95 is strut on spindle where the 73 has a upper a arm the 73 will handle better.The only racing that uses a strut on spindle is drag racing everything else uses the old double a arms.

This.

Your current suspension setup is actually better than the newer style. For the amount of money you would spend retrofitting the 95 style front suspension on to your car, you could just throw some aftermarket parts at it and end up a lot better off.

sounds like a pretty decent deal. I've ordered a few things from mustang depot and I haven't been let down.

I'm guessing you don't have power brakes? I know you can swap the front disc brakes off a granada if you can find one. Otherwise I don't have much for you here. I'm still rockin the manual drums on all 4 wheels.

if you already have power brakes then I would plan to spend around $700 to convert to 4 wheel disc brakes.

If you want factory style disc talk to http://www.chockostangclassicmustang.com/home.html but if you are going to run a 17 inch rim there is brackets to use the 98-04 cobra brakes.
