Default sn 96 spindles

I know the sn 95 spindles are popular for 5-lug conversions, has anyone used a '96 through '98 spindle with the extra 8mm width?

The extra 8mm is from the ABS crap, all it does is widen the front wheel base. The steering arm is different design as well, but won't really make a difference.

I used them, no problems, at all.

I drove my brother's 91LX and I can't believe how horrible the steering angle is on the 90-93s compared to mine.

Your referring to the normal fox spindles, right? Considering 93 cobras came with the sn95 spindles I'm just wondering.

The '93 Cobras did not come with the SN 95 spindles. The Cobra R did, with the same 17"x8" rims found optional on the '94-'95 Mustang GT.

Did you use the SN95 spindles from the '94-'95 Mustang, or the spindles from a '96-'98 Mustang?

btw, your Mustang looks cool w/o the rear spoiler...don't see that too often on a fox body (hatchback).
