    If you have one or the other or both, according to their website they all work 79-93.

    Do you know specifically which parts you have? Part number wise.
    It already has both of those on there. I don't know which specific parts I already have. I guess I'll have to get that figured out. I'm just trying to get it all figured out. I've purchased the car, but it's still sitting in Texas. Boo.

      Unless that have something different than what is listed on their website, the A-arms work 79 and up and the coilover kit just slips over the stock replacement strut.


      Looks like you will have to wait until you see the car or have someone look at it for you. Hell, Ask Crash, he sold it to you.

        I did. He wasn't sure. I think all that stuff was on the car when he got it.

        • My mc is a '94-95 GT/V6 and my booster is the same. It's not too sensitive. I've still got drums in the back and am using the adjustable proportioning valve to balance the bias. Once I go to disc in the back, I'll just have to readjust the bias. That's a good price on the spindles. I'd def be interested if you can get me a pair. -Doug

I'm leaving the stock drums in the back for now (still switching to 5-lug with Ranger drums), but I plan to step up to rear discs eventually. How do I lay the most groundwork now? The car is a 1986 GT, with stock brakes. Also, if you want 94/95 spindles, Doug, they're $45 each in a yard up here. Let me know if I need to pick a couple up for you.

          Help me finish this list. Here's what I have so far:
          94/95 GT spindles & hubs
          Cobra/Mach/Bullitt brackets and calipers
          Cobra/Mach/Bullitt rotors & pads
          MM braided stainless lines
          ?????
          Profit!

          • I'll call them and see if they have anymore. If they do, I'll shoot you a pm with their info. Call in the order, and I'll ship 'em to you.

            • Well got mine done today. The front tires may have to be changed to 245's. Here is whats on there now.

              94 spindles
              03 cobra calipers
              MM brake lines no adapters needed
              low offset 18x9 front wheels with 255/40/18
              low offset 18x10.5 wheels with 285/35/18
              Summit fox body length rear axles
              rear quad shocks gone
              drums in the rear for now

              Front tires are prob to big, they hit the fender liners when I turn sharp and I am scared to take a turn and hit a bump. Looks awesome though. I did notice the front pads only touch part of the rotor. Looks weird but they all seem to look like that. Gonna clan it up a bit tomorrow so here are some shit pics.

                    I almost didn't want to post pics in fear of everyone running out and buying black chorme wheels Looks way better in person too.

                    Car seems to stop just fine. I bleed the brakes only took three or four times per side till I got no air bubbles.
