I saw that on Craigslist. Too bad its got all new brakes because Id recommend a 5 lug swap for much better braking. The 4 lug setup was scary as fuck on my Mustang but it became a shitload better when I put on '94 front brakes. ---

It was easy and a huge improvement. I used '94 V6 Mustang spindles, calipers and rotors (v6 and gt are the same) and '80’s Ranger drums. I also used two left side '80’s Ranger axles (later got Mosers due to supposed bearing wear but think I was tricked into buying those by a shady shop in CP). ---

Damn jellies sounds like you know what your doing:) im prolly gonna sell the wheels over winter and do that swap with the cobra brakes,ss lines, and get same wheels but 5 lug ---

It was one of the things I did myself. You need '94-95 spindles to keep the track width right and those year Cobra’s used the same setup as the v6 and GT. You’ll also need balljoint spacers (or stacked washers) and a brake line adapter fitting for the right front. I kept rear drums because it was cheaper and easier. ---

It’s an 89 I’d say its about as good as you’ll find for not being a car that sat in someone’s garage and never saw the road. ---
