Hi everyone, a little stuck and hope I can find some help. I have a few mustangs but am working on a 1991 LX. I am doing the whole sn95 spindle/brake swap on it. I have most of the parts except for the off the wall stuff. All the parts I have are from a 94 v6 car. So I'll start here, can I use the rear hard lines for the rear calipers? Just shorten them and re-flair them? The factory fox front soft lines will work on the 94 calipers as long as I get the adapter for the passenger side and cut the tab off the mount, correct? The one main question I have is about the camber. I am going to lower the car while I have it all apart. Will this counteract some of the positive camber I am going to have when it's all done? Will I be able to get away with camber plates or will I have to grind out the factory strut bolt holes and use camber plates? I have the 93 cobra booster and master cylinder along with a Ford racing adjustable proportion valve. Like I said I have just about everything but the little things and the question about the camber. I'm sure as some of you comment it will spark more dumb questions. Thank you all for reading and I know we will be able to figure it out. Thanks!

Do you plan on adjustable camber plates like the ones from Maximum Motorsports?

As for the soft lines, there are stainless braided ones that fit your application directly for front and rear.

The hard lines on the axle I opted to just bend and flare new ones, seemed simpler than trying to make existing lines work.

Yeah any camber plate, it doesn't matter who makes them. But with lowering it I'm wondering if that will take away some of the positive camber from the spindle swap? And then will I have enough adjustment with the plates to bring it back to a decent angle to not just eat my tires up? I have seen the braided lines and they are on my list of possibilities for the front lines. As for the rear ones, I have the line to make me ones and that might be the easier way instead of fighting with the factory lines. Thank you.

I have used the Maximum Motorsports camber plates on Fox-body and SN95 cars. They work great. You bolt them on the upper section of the strut.

I would mark the spot for better handling (more negative camber), and the spot for better tire wear (small negative).

I got this SN95 going good:

Ok, that's good to know. I have never used camber plates on any of my other cars, just reamed out the factory strut holes. But I don't know how much positive camber the swap is going to give me. So guess just put it together and see what happens.

I remember drive those cars brand new on the dealerships lot. Best one we ever got in was a Mystic crome hard top convertible!
