I paid $210 shipped for the spindles, calipers and rubber brake lines on the calipers and rotors but I gave the rotors away because I bought new slotted and drilled ones.

I bought that stuff off a guy on Corral Forums and the parts were off a '94 v6 Mustang.

I paid $80 for two Ranger axles at the junkyard.

I paid 200$ for the spindles, 100$ for rotors,pads,lines, and calipers, and 60 for axles and drums at the junkyard

Do the 94-95 spindle have 13" rotors?

Ive got between $850 and $900 tied up in the 5 lug swap including wheels.
Im reusing my tires because they have less than 500 miles on them.

not sure what you mean by that, you can run 13" rotors on any 94+ spindle

i found my answer..........they come stock with 11" rotors but can be upgraded to 13". One more question though i just bought my '87 and hate the spongey brakes. Will upgrading to 94-95 setup help with the feel and response of the brakes?

Yes.
The only reasons I went with 5 lugs was due to better brakes (stock fox brakes blow goats) and better handling.

I have the 94-95 Conversion on my 91. I just bought cobra calipers 13" non slotted rotors and steel braided brake lines for 359.00 shipped from this guy on ebay if your interested Ill get you his name and link.

My question is Everything fit perfect except the Steel Braided Line for the passenger side is too small for the Hard Brake line (where it mounts on the Frame Rail) Is this common, that is, the brake lines on the car being two different sizes?
