Default 93 cobra rear brake kit

So I bought a "93 cobra brake kit" on ebay...Well needless to say, it didn't come with everything I needed to do the conversion. Why didn't I do five lug you ask? Because I already have 4-lug rims...lol. Money isn't THAT easy to come by around here as of now. So...I beleive I need to buy a 93 cobra master cylinder, e-brake cable and proportioning valve. is there anything else that I would need to purchase in order to make this a complete conversion? Oh and do I need to remove my gears for this conversion...because if I do I'm getting some 3.55's.....

Thanks a bunch people =)

if your auto get 4.10s if your manual get 3.73s, you will hate yourself if you get 3.55s, just a tip.

As far as the brakes, i dunno.

As far as the master cylinder, e-brake and proportioning valve read through this first sn95brakes.com/4lug. As far as removing the gears... NO you do not have to remove the gears. You will have to remove the rear cover, then remove the pin from the center of the differential to push the axles in to remove the c-clips in order to remove the old axles.

If you do want to do gears at this time I would recommend taking your car to a shop that KNOWS how to rebuild rear ends to have them installed.

Nothing wrong with 3.55's for better take off and still get good highway drive-ability, but as 92cobra said 4.10's if your AOD and 3.73 if 5-Spd are good if your not going to be doing much highway driving. <-- Just my opinion

are the axles out of a 93 cobra? stock fox axles? this swap when done like this can be confusing i just did mine with stock axles and had to use north racecars brackets to make the brakes line up right

No actually the axles are from a 93 cobra. So the swap shouldn't be that bad. I just needed some kind of guideline.
