well, does the frpp kit come with everythign needed? How do you get the axles out? also is there a big price diff between the frpp kit and your own junk yard/autozone parts?

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?

RE: Help with 5 Lug Conversion on 89 hatch
ok I think I got this almost straightened out on what i am going to do. One last question, to leave the rear brakes drum, I either need 2 left (drivers side) axles from a 92 or older ranger (4cyl or NOT 4.0L V6). My Question is what happens if I use 94-98 Mustang axles? they are too long? I know they have an exciter ring for abs (which my car does not have) so I leave those on or hammer them off? I only ask because it is alot easier for me to pick up 94-98 mustang axles than 2 left side ranger axles.
