Default 87 5.0 k-member conv. q?

ive gotta 87 5.0 hatch and im wanting to do the tubular kmember swap but i also want to do the 5 lug swap (w/sn95 parts), i heard if you get the k member you have to use the tubular 94-95 control arms instead of the 87-93 ones so the spindles fit properly on the c-arms, is this correct or could i buy 87-93 control arms? im just confused because there would be parts from different models on the car and by the looks of it the kmember works on either car but has different control arms for dif models any help thanks

No you don't. The reason some might say that is because the fox balljoint is longer than the sn's. All you need there is some 5/8 hardened washers to correct this.

From that article ^^
"Also either you will need to use washers are a spacer to the height of .330 to accomadate for the fox's longer ball joints are simply just press SN95 ball joints in your fox lower control arms."
