I think that you can just change the spindles to 95+ without changing the control arms.

Check out www.stangparts.com
They offer very reasonably priced conversion kits (used)... they include everything you need for the conversion less the 5-lug wheels...

For the front you need the 94-95 spindle and brakes. You can use regular V-6/GT brakes or Cobras. Just replace the ball joint with a 94-95 ball joint, and you will not need a spacer.

You will need to adapt brake lines. My Maximum Motorsports lines for a fox bolted to the Cobra calipers with the Cobra banjo bolt.

In the rear you can swap the axles endplates, calipers, caliper brackerts, and brake lines off of a V-6 or V-8 rear end, or you can bolt in a whole rear end from a V-8 car.

You should upgrade the master cylinder. I am using a 93 Cobra master cylinder with an adapter kit from Maximum Motorsports. I also have an adjustable proportioning valve and have gutted the stock proportioning valve and installed the FMS plug.

Feel free to e-mail me if you have any questions.
