>>1. Are 95 and 96 brakes the same?  I see some people like to put the
96
>>brakes on their pre 96 cars.  What's involved with this swap?  What
other
>>years can be used to upgrade my 93?

The 96 and up SHOs have a larger 11.6 rotor.  You'll need the rotor and
caliper bracket to upgrade to those brakes on a 95.  For a 93 you'll
also need the knuckles, and calipers.
 
>>2. Will 2002 wheels fit my 95?

Yes they will fit.
 
>>3.  92-95 Sables appear to have the same front marker and main light
>>housings as the SHO.  The only difference I see is the small inner
light.
>>Are they truly interchangeable.  How about the fenders (I don't mind
>>drilling holes for ground affects)?  I am assuming the hoods are
identical
>>but I saw a guy selling an SHO hood on eBay and he got good money for
it
>>which makes me wonder.
 
Yes the front end of the SHO is the same as the sable as far as lights
and fenders go.  Some say that the sable hood won't fit due to the
underhood bracing, others say it will.  The Taurus hood fits but looks a
little weird.  Someone on the shoforum posted a picture of a SHO with
the Taurus hood.  It fits, but it might still have the brace hood like
the sable.

>>4.  Is the radius arm on my 95 SHO the same as any other Taurus/Sable?
>>I'm sure the length is the same but are the SHO parts stronger or
thicker?
 
The arm is the same for the SHO and Taurus/Sable.  The bushing material
would be the only difference, but I think the bushings were all the same
also.
