Thinking about future mods...

...want 99 Cobra 17x8" wheels, 245/45/17 tires, and 4 wheel disks. I'm gonna switch to the 94/95 SN95 spindle (better geometry, sealed bearings, wheels fit over dust cap... and in 96 the geometry's a little too different).

Baer and 13"/12" cobra kits are too pricie.

Are the T-bird rear disks the same as the SN95?

I'm thinking this is the way to go... axle length should be shorter than SN95, and it's an easy way to pick up some 3.55's or 3.73's. I beleive the disks are around 10.5"... and given the fact the rears don't do much, the 12" cobra's would probably be overkill on a street car.

Now up front, the SN95 disks are 12" right?
This would be an economical step up from the 11" disks.

The 94-98 front calipers are probably better than even the old 73mm's, but I'm thinking the 99/2000 two piston calipers are the way to go. Wonder what the price difference is...

Any SN95 master cylinder should work right?

Won't be as good as the cobra setup, but should be a significant improvement on my lightweight fox.

Anyone done it? Any other comments/ideas?
