Just bought a set of front calipers and rotors off a 2002 GT and want to swap them onto my 1992 lx coupe. Do I need a new master?Brake lines? Spindles? And what size rim am I goin to need to clear em? Thanx.

You will need either F5 or F4 spindles (as in 94 or 95). It doesn't matter what kind of Mustang they cam off, Cobra, V6, GT. If you get 96 and up spindles, they will stick the wheels out .25" out farther in the front which looks bad and if you run anything wider than 8" wheels they will hit the fenders so bad you won't want to drive it. Maximum Motorsports can set you up with some nice braided stainless steel brake lines made specifically for what you are doing. As for wheels, any late model, '94 up wheels will fit. If you were doing Cobra brakes, then your selection might be narrowed a bit.

go with the 94 and 95 spindle so you dont have to worry about wheel selection.
