If I was collecting brake parts for a braking system upgrade, would the '94-'04 Mustang disc brake rotors fit a box panther or do I need '98-up brake rotors? Anything is better than the 10" rotors.

Will '98-'02 panther rotors bolt up to my car's suspension or does everything need to be changed up front to '98-'02 parts? What did you do to give your TC '92-'97 rear discs?

For the front brake upgrade, I believe the list is as follows (correct me if I miss anything)
92-95 upper control arms w/ the "pin" style pivot
95-02 front spindle
95-02 hub bearing assy
98-02 caliper bracket
98-02 rotor
98-02 caliper
98-02 hoses, you want the ones for a car w/ traction control. this matters because the driver's side hose is different. the non-traction control cars have a distribution block thing built into the hose, and we don't need or want that.
lower arm stays the same
95-02 lower ball joint
not sure the exact years on the upper BJ, fairly sure 92-02 but match it to the spindle year and it'll be ok.
I do recall mention of a metric to standard brake line adapter to connect our 3/16 fittings to the metric thread on the brake hose.
Essentially just rape everything but the upper control arms off a 98-02 car and you'll be OK.
Upper control arms should be the earlier 90s as they have the same frame mount system as the box, but will take the new style ball joint. These are a cast arm with a bolt-on ball joint as opposed to our stamped steel/riveted ball joint uppers.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).
