Has anybody done this yet? What is involved with hooking up the brakes and e brake? Is the 95 rear longer than the 88?
Thanks,
Mike

not sure on the specifics of the brake deal, but it WILL be pretty involved since your going to rear disc. and the actual rear housing is physically the same, but the rear axles are wider and therfore the rear track is wider than a fox.

I figure if it take the master cyl and proportioning valve of the 95 then the only thing i should have to do is make a line to connect the rear to the line coming from the master cyl. I don't know if the e-brake cables hook up or not. I am concerned about the added length of the rear and being able to fit cobra r wheels on it.

Yeah you told me it was longer. I wanted to see if those rims would fit and what kind of problems i would have with the brakes.

each axle shaft (not the housing) is longer by .75in.. so your rear track will increase 1.5in total. Everything bolts up fine. You will need an adapter at the center whip hose.. or use your fox brake lines (steel), shortened, cut and double flared at the ends with adapters going to 94/95 GT rear brake hoses. Order a set of M2809A and M2810 ebrake cables and mod the ebrake handle as per the M2300K directions.
