Default what would you do? 4lug/5lug

I'm debating a 4lug vs. 5lug setup. I just bought a set of cobra wheels for my 94 3.8 and now have a 93 5.0.

Whould you rather have the 93 4lug with svo disc rear end, and front svo calipers etc, on the pony wheels? Or, the sn95 front and rear drum 5lug with the cobra wheels?

Help me decide because I'm on the fence.......

If you go to 5 lug get rear discs. I think its stupid to get 5 lugs and keep the rear drums. If you want just disc brakes than either will be fine.

That's the only reason that I would want to swap in the first place. I mean, you can still get nicer rims (staying with a 4 lug) than the turbines/10 hole/ponies, but the real reason to swap is to upgrade brakes.

The REARS too right??!!!

5 lug is waste of money, 4lug Cobra R's look great and are dirt cheap.

why waste the money? cost a ton to change over and thats money that could buy you a new set of heads or such.

www.ssbrakes.com has all the 4 lug brake conversions you need. slotted front and rear disk 4 lug.

a SVO disc rear is 5 lug!

Also, SN95 wheels will fit on FOX spindles...without the hub cap on
