Default Are these good kits?

This one http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/...1&comp=LRS

And this one http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/...1&comp=LRS

I'm not a big fan of those rims but it seems like a decent price. I would really like to get some cheap 03 cobra replicas some where if anyone has a link. I've been saving up lately and get my bonus from work next week, and I've been thinkin of a 5 lug conversion and maybe a top end kit too.

if you read the 5 lug sticky you'll see that 03 cobras will not fit with that conversion, as well as most other wheels

Ya they are played out, and my best friend has them on his LX. But they are still better than my crappy 80's aftermarket wheels. lol

Oh $hit....I just read that. Is that only for the front 2 rotors or all 4 corners? Is there a reasonably priced kit that will allow the 03 cobras to fit?

just the two front..they are the same thingas the lincoln rotor you buy from part stores and they dont allow for alot of the rims you would want to fit......the rear axles in that setupare fine but you can get two axles out of a junkyard from a ranger

to fit all the rims you want to you need to get

94-95 mustang spindles, hubs, calipers, rotors, caliper.... that way you can fit any 5 lug with the mustang bolt pattern you want... and its done the right way plus no more messing with wheel bearings just to change rotors out.....


you can get the spindles and calipers out of a junkyard for a low price the hubs too. but i would by the hubs new just my preference though..

heres a good website with all the info you need...
