Default The REAL 5 lug swap

Im looking at a 5 lug swap for next summer. I want a set of bullit rims... is there a kit I can buy to do this? I heard ford racing sells one but other then that the other 5 lug swaps are useless to me. Any other options?

Thanks Guys

a good front brake kit will be 5 lug, and you could just buy 28 spline 5 lug rear axles and change those brake according if you wanted

Whats a decent 5 lug front break kit, that fits the bullit rims but doesnt cost an arm and a leg? Im looking for good stopping power but nothing insane.

yes you can reuse the calipers the rotors are the same size, infact they are actually off early 90's thunderbird turbocoupes. i saw a set of 5 lug 28 spline axles that comes with a new drum to utilize the stock rear brakes, but i can't find it.
