Brakes are good. Very good. I'm sure you enjoy the feeling of not being the truck in front of yourself as much as I do

Have you driven any SN95s David?
aside my from test drive, I've never actually ridden in a Mustang, much less for an extended amount of time, I know it's bad. But I more than plan to make up for it in the future. I sat in a 04 once, but there was almost no head room, course I didnt really adjust the seat or anything

The SNs have a fair bit of room once you adjust your seat right. What I like is how its snug without being cramped

A very common upgrade for foxes is to put SN95 brakes on it, and you get the added bonus of a 5 lug conversion. For the front you need the hub assembly w the SN ball joints,calipers & brackets, direct bolt on and for the rear if you get the complete axle, even better Since fox body Mustangs are lighter, those brakes perform like 93 Cobra brakes on them

I didn't even think about the fact that I can sell all of my SN stuff when I do the brake upgrade. Yay money back!

Also, I just picked up the springs and plan on buying the shocks and struts on ebay next. The brakes can wait.

Well, I really want to do the suspension right, and I know that if I put the springs on and the ride was "alright" then I would never get around to upgrading the shocks/struts. I know that I'll get to changing the brakes because those will never be "alright," so I'm going to do that as a package deal like I had previously planned.

Grahhhhh Don't remind me again that my brakes suck almost as bad as when you don't have brakes on your bike and so you shove your foot in between the fork and the tire. Because I already know that. I just need to get all of this done in one foul swoop. Because knowing Arin and I, gooedinuf, as they say in German, may be just enough to keep us happy, but not actually good.
