going to do cobra front brakes on my fox, I have the following parts :

95 gt spindles
cobra calipers
13 inch rotors
adaptor fitting for passenger side

do I need I really need brake booster / master cylinder from a 94+ mustang or can I stay with my stock ones, also do I need a proportion valve?

You'll need a spacer for the castle nut on the spindle, you will NOT need a booster, master, or a proportioning valve, stock will work.

Looks like it, do you have the '94 and up brake lines too? I don't know if stock Fox will work.

Do you mean '94-'95 ball joints in a Fox A-arm? If that's what you're talking about then yes you can do it, I spent $150 on OEM SN-95 ball joints. He could go that route but spacers are cheaper.

actually jose thats the reason he needs washers. the fox ball joint is to tall so you need a spacer .330 thick to set it right. or he could run the steeda ball joints for piece of mind

The spacer you need to install on Fox balljoint was with the spindles as well as the mounting bolts for the calipers, so you are good to go.
If I recall correctly you said the calipers came with hoses already attached which if you get the Weatherhead 7828 adapter for hose to metal line adapter you will be good to go.
If you have any questions or problems with the install please feel free to contact me by phone.
