The v6/gt sn95s have the same brakes. The cobra is the only one diffferent.

The springs will be different. In the front for sure, dont know about the back. You may have to change the K-member but that should be it besides the springs. Most of these cars use the same parts. Also i would highly recomend buying a tubular k-member if you change yours out. It makes working on the bottom of the car so much easier. When i buy my next mustang that will be one of the forst things i do to it. Also you shave some weight off.

I've done the same exact swap as Ryan did. And like he said it should be farily easy. The donor car would be the best bet or you could end up nickle and diming it the whole time and end up spending a lot more money then you should have.
