Yours should hold out but if it doesn't go for the svo master cylinder since those are what calipers they came with.

the stock works fine, you only will want to change it to the SVO or `94 GT master if you also put turbocoupe rear disc brakes on the car.
the pedal felt fine on mine with the 73mm calipers up front with stock drums in the back with stock master.

I had a really mushy pedel on my '92 after putting the 73mm's on. I would recommend upgrading the M/C at the same time. I have heard that the 94-98 GT M/C's work good.
Make sure you get the 73mm's with the steel piston. I would also get steel caliper sleeves from Maximum Motorsports, braided steel lines, and Hawk HPS pads. Your front brakes will be much better after this ![[Smile]](smile.gif)

haha, mine weren't that bad really, but then I haven't driven the car with the cobra 5 lug stuff yet ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)
I had 73mm fronts, turbocoupe rear disc, `94 GT mc, stock booster, bypassed prop valve, adj prop valve, steel braided hoses and hawk pads with brembo blank rotors. 1000x improvement over the stock brakes on my convertable (that now has my old brakes since I went 5 lug )
