Getting ready to order a kit and part of my plans are 15" wheels front and back. If the Wilwoods won't fit Then trying to decide, should I order the regular brakes or source my own later
does anyone know what the spindles are off of

The spindles are custom from Factory Five. For my last builds, Factory Five supplied PartsMaster PM513115 front hubs. 1994 - 04 SN-95 Mustang hubs. I don't have any experience with 15" wheels (a whole discussion) but Factory Five has some options. You need to talk to them. I've also seen Gordon Levy post on here that he has a Wilwood solution for 15" wheels. I don't know how that compares with what Factory Five offers. But there you go.

I've spoken to Levy within the last month or so. He has indicated that he has a Wilwood package for 15" wheels using DynaLite calipers. These are excellent 4-piston calipers offering multiple piston diameters and a wide variety of pads with easy replacement.

Be aware that if you do that with a solid rear axle your going to have some breaking issues. The rear axle floats and if you go away from a floating caliper (the Dyna lite 4 piston calipers are fixed) when you corner your brakes will be soft as the caliper will open a touch. The solution is to shim your C clips to remove the play. You can also put a weld bead on the back of your axles but either way if you don't address it you will have some unintended side effects.
