    In the front you should be able to use the spindles, hubs, brackets, calipers, and rotors. You will need balljoint spacers, a different master cylinder ('93 Cobra for example), a 3 to 2 port adapter kit, adjustable proportioning valve, and adapter fittings for the lines. You may also need a different booster.
    Out back you can use the entire rear with the brakes and would need e-brake cables and adapters for the brake lines.
    Since your car is an '85 you will also need new shocks and struts because yours won't bolt to the new spindles or rear end.

    You can find a lot of info here:
    Atlantic Blue '00 - '03 Cobra motor and TKO600, solid axle, full MM suspension
    Silver '01 Vette - D1 blown LS

        The 96 spindles will space you out to far for 94 to 04 wheels.

            Some people prefer the 94-95 spindles because they retain the FOX track width.

            96+ spindles are 8mm wider per side. A little more than a 1/4 inch. 94+ wheels will fit.
