So ive been looking into 5 lug brake conversions and was looking to do the 03 cobra fronts or cobra r fronts, and north race car rear end conversion with the 94 cobra rears and axels and brackets and what not. does anyone know if they sell a complete front kit for the standard cobra, not sure if i really need the cobra r fronts.

i would find solid sn 95 spindles from here and look into some bullit calipers. they come fully loaded with pads and brackets. they are on sale right now on buyfordracing.com for $249. same as the cobras just they have a pony on them instead of cobra.

94-95 spindles, 03-04 Cobra front/rear brakes. North racecar brackets, stock length Fox axles in 5 lug. 93-95 Cobra brake booster and MC, adjustable pro valve with the stock one gutted out. Braided lines for the front and rear.

With big brakes, you will be limited to 17" or larger wheels.

Thanks john and mustang guy, bought the spindles already, gonna piece the other stuff together slowly, would like to get coil overs first and drive the current tires off of it. looking at 17 or 18 inch wheels for it so that should be ok.

For the money and simplicity, IMO, it's the best setup possible. Throw on some good quality pads/rotors and have fun! [Cool]

i am not sure what year but i know you can get everything from a ford ranger. as far as the rear end you need two trucks and you take the longer axel

Other than what is specified above, do yourself a favor and purchase a 93 Cobra Booster. 94-up boosters will require you to elongate your firewall holes. Not the worst thing in the world, but why not avoid it if possible.
