No, you'll have to get stock Fox-length axle shafts in 5-lug. The 10.5" wide wheels on a Fox doesnt require MAJOR mods but there are some unique parts you'll need to get for it to come out right. The SN95 axle shafts are 3/4" longer on each side than the Fox axles, which would put 10.5" wide wheels well outside of the wheel well openings.
1)You can either order 5-lug stock Fox length axle shafts from Moser or some other aftermarket axle shaft manufacturer or you can get the Ford Racing 5-lug drum conversion and sell the brake drums to someone else.
*If you order axle shafts, specify stock 28 spline for stock differential or obviously 31 spline if u have an aftermarket 31 spline diff.
*Also, specify that you need the disc brake lug studs installed. They are slightly longer than the standard drum lug studs because of the added thickness of the brake rotor compared to the brake drum.
2) You will need to buy the custom brake caliper brackets that move the SN95 calipers inboard to account for the shorter Fox-length axles. You can get these from North Cobra Racecars, just Google them and buy the caliper brackets for either SN95 V6/GT brake rotor or SN95 Cobra brake rotor, depending on which you are using. The Cobra rotors are larger diameter, hence the different brackets.
3) You'll need to modify the rear axle brake hard-lines to connect with the caliper soft lines.
4) You'll need to purchase and install '93 Cobra emergency brake cables if you want to keep emergency brake function.
5) You'll need to buy and install the proper master cylinder and brake proportioning valve set up to get the most from the rear disc upgrade.
