Hi everyone. I just currently have stock crap brakes on my 93 MTX . I figured while its just sitting there in the garage its a good time to upgrade them. Im not the most mechanical person. Any thoughts on a good upgrade kit front and rear and whats involved to do the job itself. Is there a kit out there that had everything i need? Any thoughts would be great. Thanks everyone. -Dan

96 brake upgrade is what most do.
is there any special modification needed to install 96 brakes on a 93 SHO or can i just buy a 96 SHO brake kit and bolt it up?
You will require 94-95 SHO knuckles.
Just make sure that it has the abs sensor, since (iirc) they all didn't have abs.

'96 upgrade and/or replace your hoses with fresh ones or braided and get better pads.

I would recromend changing to stainless steel brake lines, because you will have to change calipers anyways.... also flush the **** out of the brake fluid when you bleed it.....
get Stainless steel lines
94+ Taurus SHO calipers(you might be able to use SLO ones of those years, dunno if they changed right away... I know for sure any 2001 and up Taurus/Sable has the calipers you need, as well as any fwd 4.6 DOHC v8 Lincoln Continental
you will need caliper brackets off any 2001 and up Taurus/Sable, a 96-99 Taurus SHO, or a v8 fwd Continental
you will need 99 SHO brake pads, PFC from autozone, or SHOSource offers Hawk HPS pads or EBC pads for a performance improvement......
you will need a rotor from the same type of car that you source the caliper brackets from
you will need a 94-95 Taurus spindle with ABS sensor mount.......
you will need Caliper bracket bolts off a 94-95 Taurus I believe. These are the bolts for the caliper bracket to the spindle....... Reason being for this year is they are shorter then others......
you will feel a night and day difference between what u got now and what u could have using the performance parts suggested above
on the flip side, if you have larger wheels, you can run a 13" Mustang Cobra brake setup
you will still need the 94-95 Taurus Spindles, as well as the caliper bolts for those years I would assume.... but I don't know for certain
then you need mustang Cobra or Mustang Mach1 calipers, pads, brackets, and rotors.... some calipers have different thread pitches for the banjo bolt on the brake line.... you can do some investigation on that yourself..... you will need to have a different bolt pattern drilled into the rotor to fit on the Taurus wheel studs.....
I was going to go the Cobra route, but its too damn expensive, I got other stuff I'd rather buy and I already have a 11.6 updrage sitting here...... its not a bad braking system at all........ and will take some good stops with good performance pads
for the rears I would just get new rotors and new pads...... you can go performance aftermarket on the pads, I believe SHO Source sells Hawk HPS pads for t......
your biggest keys to better performance are this: performance pad, stainless brake lines, NEW BRAKE FLUID.......
