My friend has a 1990 Mustang 5.0L LX trunk car. Its really clean with a couple of small mods. He wants to do a 4 wheel disc brake conversion on it on a budget as his funds are low. He wants to use the braided flex hoses from someone like Earls. He bought a used rearend from another mustang the had rear discs so I have to swap axles and discs and calipers. My question is does anyone know the part numbers to some good braided flex hoses that will fit the front brakes as well as the rear brakes?

I bought my front braided lines from Maximum Motorsports. I am running SN95 front spindles with Mach 1 13" discs w/ the dual piston calipers. On the rear, I just re-bent the hard lines on my axle and used the stock rubber flex line from the chassis. The rear has stock fox length axles with North Race Cars brackets to adapt the 11.65" vented rear Cobra Discs and the Varga calipers. All of this is 5-lug obviously.
Is he wanting to stay 4-lug? Also, don't forget about the implications to the master cylinder and proportioning valve. I am running a '93 Cobra master cylinder with a gutted stock proportioning valve and an adjustable proportioning valve.
I did quite a bit of research about this subject. If there is anything that I can help with let me know. Drop me a PM. I can take some pics of my setup if needed. I basically duplicated the M2300K kit from Ford, but retained the stock fox axle width and did it for quite a bit less money.
Do a google search on M2300K and you should be able to find the installation instruction manual for the kit. It lists all of the part #'s from Ford. Some of them are getting hard to find. It wasn't a weekend job, but the the car stops great now.
Hope this was somewhat helpful.
Later,
