Default New Edge 5 lug swap

Finally swapped to 5 lug with 4 wheel disc. The fronts got New Edge spindles, 2 piston PBR calipers and 11" rotors and the rear got a complete axle assymble from a new edge.

D/S front bolted right up with no problems. P/S front I had to make a small brake line to connect the flex line to the existing hard line but other than that it was a straight forward install. I did have to use some washers on the ball joints and where the spindle bolts to the strut because the new edge spindle is thinner in these areas.

The rear end is a direct swap and I used new edge flex lines and made a hardline to connect them together.

I am gonna be putting on a set of stock 2000 v6 rims once I get the tires swapped over.

New front


New rear


rims I will be running

Finally got the tires swapped around and changed out the wheels. Its amazing what a new set of wheels will do to one of these cars in the looks department.

Did you have to change the springs and shocks as well for this?

I didnt change them. Not really sure what the previous owner did though as the car does have c/c plates on it.

I knew that was part of the suspension,ive just heard if you drop a v8 in a 4cyl body you will flip the car.But im not going v8 i will eventually go turbo 4 but i just want the right suspension to handle the power i want.
