Is that new? here's a rebuilt, for less.

That was for a 90 gt, I looked up the cobra and came up with this.

I used the 90 in my 87, with no problems, not sure about the cobra one. I used it so I could use the firewall adjuster for the clutch.

It's smaller diameter wise, but I think its a bit thicker. Someone else can chime on this, but It worked for me, I do believe I did have to bend a few of the lines a bit to make it line up and fit. Your cat is nice to. I remember we you to pic on you for all the dual color's, Nice!!

I know the Fox Mustang boosters are a direct bolt-in to the 83-86 cars.  From your experiences are they with the 87-88 cars?

I can tell you that the SN-95 boosters are not a direct bolt-in as you have to elongate the holes on the firewall but this is the same thing you have to do when putting an SN-95 booster into a Fox Mustang.

If you are running the stock size calipers etc on the car then the Fox booster will work fine for you.  I know a lot of guys running the 93 Cobra booster when they switch out to the SN-95 brakes.  They are about identical to the SN-95 boosters with the exception of they bolt right up to the firewall.  I wish I had that tidbit of info when I swapped out the brakes on my Coupe and the Bird.

Yes, the Mustang boosters bolt right on the '87-'88 cars also.:D
