OVERVIEW: 
 
The components in this kit will improve the braking performance of your 1996-04 Mustang GT. This kit requires  
the use of 17" wheels such as those used on the 1994-04 Mustang Cobra. Other wheels that will clear the  
calipers in this kit are Ford Racing part numbers M-1007-R58/C58/C178/D178. A 1994-04 17" x 4" mini-spare 
 wheel is available from Ford/Lincoln/Mercury dealers under part number F4ZZ-1K007-C or Ford Racing part 
number M-1007-K. 
 
The installation of this kit can be done by someone with an average amount of experience, but it is very important to 
follow the instructions in the Brake Section of the 1996-04 Mustang Shop Manual or equivalent. If you do not feel 
comfortable with this, have the installation performed by an experienced mechanic.
