Im looking to convert my 87gt to 95 front brakes, so far i have 95 spindles,new set of timken front hubs,what else do i need for this setup? what caliper years will work? rotors?

any caliper from 94- up to 04 will bolt on then use the same year rotor you can even go bigger like gobra brakes if you use the right cailper and rotor combo

will i need to change anything else? or will that bolt on and be ok? no booster change?

Search for posts from 50dro. He has a bunch of information and pictures from his swap.

To use the '99 + dual piston calipers you'll need to grind down the spindle just a bit. It's no big deal. If you want to use those calipers, just mount them on the spindle and you can see where the interference is. Grind them down until the caliper fits.

I did the swap on my 86 GT. I had the narrow K frame (87-93 V-8 cars are a 1" wider). If I had the wider K frame(which your should have) all you need to do is put on the spindles. My swap was a complete 4 wheel disc conversion with the Cobra front calipers/ rotors. I actually did not change the master cylinder even though I was told that the booster and cylinder need to be changed. Once I play with it when the weather gets better I may change them over. If you need to change the booster/ master cyl, I was told for fox body cars go with a 93 Cobra booster and a 94-up master cylinder and proportional valve

Take note on most fox to 94-95 booster installations, you may have to mod the strut tower to install it just a little with the dead blow hammer and you're good to go

I had to cut the studs down a bit and notch my strut tower to get it barely in. Was a pita.

got one side done, looks good. i put new strange struts on also, i wish they sent the nut for the top with them. it took me two hours and half tank of gas to find the correct nut.
