The cheapest would be just licoln rotors in the front and ranger axels for the back

Check out this site.

http://mjbobbitt.home.comcast.net/mustang/sn95brakes.html

It has all the info you need to know about 5 lug conversions.

The cheapest way is to use a set of Lincon front rotors. However you will be limited to which wheels you can run on your car due to the big ass dust cap.

The "best" way is to get a set of 94-95 spindles (96+ will work also) and then get the brake setup off of a 99+ GT. They came with 4 piston calipers which are lighter and offer better braking then the single piston design in early SN95s.

It just so happens that I have a complete front brake setup off of a 2001 GT for sale [Big Grin]

It all depends on what setup you go with.
