5 lug conversion from 03 Cobra and 98 GT
Hello. I recently purchased a 91 LX with a 351. What I am needing to know is ifI can use the spindles, lower control arms, rotors, struts, calipers, ect... out of a 2003 cobra, and the axels, rotors, calipers out of a 98 GT. I already have these peices so if you can let me know what I can use and what I can't and what else I would need, it would be appreciated. Thanks.

you can use the spindles but they may cause some clearance issues, you dont need the lower control arms, you can use the rotors and calipers, you dont need the struts but you can use them. Im not sure on the back as I used drums, but search and im sure you'll find everything you need to know

Change out the lower control arms to the later ones and it will give you better front end geometry. It will also slightly widen your front wheel base but that won't hurt you. If you don't want to change the steering geometry fing 94-95 spindles and put the 03 cobra brakes onto those spindles an you will retain the stock fox geometry

17x9's swill not clear with those 98 spindles. they make the wheel base quite a bit wider. and the 03-04 cobra isnt it a completely different suspension? its an independent rear suspsion isnt it?
