basically, a 2 port disc brake master cylinder, like for a 93 cobra, or 94/95 mustang, rear caliper brackets (northracecars will fit fox-length 5 lug axles), rear calipers from a 94+ mustang, and the rotors and pads, either cobra or v6/gt.
then you'll need a ford racing brass prop valve plug, a 3-2 port conversion kit (I recommend maximum motorsports) and an adjustable prop valve that you install inline with the rear brake line, at the coupler by the passenger firewall above the heatercore lines. You'll also need either new rear brake lines and hoses, or get 94+ mustang brake hoses, and weatherhead 7818 line adapters to convert your stock rear hardline to connect to the newer hoses, you'll need to bend your hoses in a S-shape to take up some slack to get them short enough to bolt up right.

There are a couple guys on here parting out SVO's. I am in the process of installing a complete SVO system into another members 90LX. The rear SVO brakes measure 11.65 I think, and all the brackets, lines, and parts are there. Depending on your wheel options, this may be a cheap route to take. Keep in mind the rear axle width with rear disc brakes... espesially the SVO set up.
