96 Upgrade

[oh_SHO]

Ok,

I DID DO A SEARCH! But my question isn't quite clear... So I have a 95 MTX; what excatly do I need for the 96 upgrade? I think its just the calipers and rotors, right? I am going into some junkyards and I need to know excatly what I need. Thanks guys.

I do believe you only need the Upgrade kit, you dont need the Knuckles because you have a '95.

you need the following for your 95:

1996 Taurus SHO Rotors
1996 Taurus SHO Brake Pads
1996 Taurus SHO Caliper brackets.

and all the other standard replacement parts in a brake job...

So you dont need 17" Rims, right? Just double checking.

Nope. It fits behind the slicers without any rubbing or clearance issues. I have this upgrade and I absolutely love it; the car stops soo much better now, with less force applied to the brake pedal. thumb

You need knuckles for the 96 upgrade on genI? Can I rip them off of a junker 96?

You'll need 94-95 Knuckles.

Can you reccomend a place to get them? I'll do a search now, but just asking...

Thanks for the replies. So for a 95, I need the rotors, calipers and caliper brakets off a 96 and up taurus. Didn't someone say that the parts are the same for mid-90s LSCs? Or was that just the knuckles?

I dont think u need to buy 96 calipers. The stock 95's work I think, but I am just guessing.

Its been posted at least once in this thread and many times in the past. All you need for a 96 upgrade on a 94/95 Taurus is 96+ SHO rotors, 96+ SHO caliper brackets, and 96+ SHO pads. The calipers are the same. If it were me, I would get loaded rebuilt calipers for the same price that you could get just the brackets new. Toss the pads if you want better ones.

Ok ok I see it. I just had it set in my mind that the calipers were different. Alrighty then I smell upgraded brakes next month! Since I am low on funds I will probably just keep the calipers I have and replace the upgrade parts and new rubber lines. thumb

Now what is this rear bias valve mod I hear about? Wait I will search for it before someone bites my head off.

But you need everything, including the knuckles and calipers on genI's, right?

Yes everything listed above in the thread plus the 94/95 knuckles and calipers will do a pre-94 96 upgrade
