so i am looking to do a drum to disc swap/upgrade, there seem to be a lot of options. i am keeping the fronts stock so i do not need anything fancey. i ampretty sure i will need a different line bc of the difference in the placement of the discs? also i have heard about proportioning valves? do i need one? i there a kit that has what i need for a decent price? jegs has a ford racing kit for about $350 but it is just discs and calipers? any info would be great thanks mike

you won't need to buy new hard lines for the back but you will need to cut them and rebend them. on drums the hardlines go straight to the wheel cylinder but on the disc they will attach to a soft line.

you could also do a 93 cobra rear disc set up

do you think using a 94-00 rear gt rear disc set up will work well? there is one on ebay for $150 thanks mike

yes a sn95 axle will work also from the same page i linked you

yeah that page was good i appreciate it, i am pretty sure i am going to get new/used 94-95 calipers and discs in the rear and discs up front that will get rid of my drums and also get rid of my 4 lugs so i can put my set of cobras on it. thanks for the help mike

on the 94-95's is there a difference in the brake systems between the V6 and GT/v8? also if i do use a 94-95's brakes do i need to upgrade the master cylinder? thanks mike
