I ended up going with a set of 98 cobra front spindles, am I limited to only using the cobra brakes now ? I was told these spindles suck the wheels inward slightly making it impossible to use the 90-93 calipers and mark 7 rotors I intended on using.

Thought the 96+ pushes the wheels out. You can't use a Mark VII rotor because the 94+ use a wheel baring assembly-the Mark VII has the old scohool set up (inner/outer bearings).

so can I use 94+ calipers, brackets, and rotors ? V6 GT and or Cobra ?

all the 94+ stuff is interchangeable. what the problem youre going to have though is that the 96+ stuff was designed for a different k-member to fit the mod, so they dropped the steering rack, a 5.0 k member will give you a fucked up bumpsteer without a kit. just make sure your kmember is set to work with newer knuckles.

matt, its all from team Z :) and with the 96+ stuff and bump steer kit Ive heard I should be dandy like candy

Find out if all team z k members are set up for mod motor steering linkage. If thats the case, you shouldnt need the bumpsteer kit as itll already have correct geometry. 96+ also have better steering turn in angle

Ive experienced the fox body bump steer you speak of too, and I hated it. my old car followed every little bump in the road.

That wasnt even it, at Milan it would cut left and right depending on if I was in or out of the throttle. I was feathering the pedal to keep it from blowing the tires off and it wanted to go all over the lane. I ran it 2-3 times like that off the spray because it was a little bit more manageable then put it back on the trailer. It just wasnt right. It had originally had 96's on it when I got it, but I never paid attention because 1 was bent. It was a night and day difference
