The fox and SN95 Axles housings are the same.

SN95 brakes will bolt to your fox housing.

You can use the housing with all your goodies in it and just use SN-95 length axles with the SN-95 brakes (endplates, brackets, rotors, calipers).

You will need to do some fabrication because the SN-95 brakes have a rubber line at the end to the calipers. These have a bracket that bolts to the shock mount, and will require drilling. You will need to cut and flare with the proper nut size to match into the fittings. If the car you are putting this into has a donor rear end (7.5 or 8.8) then you can get the hard and flexible lines from that.

The SN-95 axles are 0.75" longer, so your rear track is increased by 1.5". This will give the right "look" in the newer body, otherwise the wheel will be tucked very deep into the rear wells.
