Default 5 lug conversion

im sure this has been asked many times but, what all is needed for a 5 lug conversion on an 86? i know i need new axels, rear drums, front rotors, calipers, brake hoses etc. and i need new spindles too right? from a 94+? is there any other misc. parts to go with the spindles? like bolts, brackets, etc? and about how much would it cost for the COMPLETE conversion? (i already have 5 lug wheels)

na man all you you need is 94-96 spindles same goes for the ball joints thats it. also u need the brake lines to hook up to newer style calipers. maximum motorsports sells them. i would reccomend buying a set of caster camber plates while ur at it.

its gonna be about 1500-3000 depending on the setup. http://www.steeda.com/products/cobra...conversion.php
thats a good price, kinda average. the higher class brakes you get the obviously more expensive it will be. but i got a good guy to put them in here in CA. so im good. im gettin it done soon. but yah take the exact setup into consideration, its everything you will need for the conversion. just take it to them and they can do it, or you can do it if you know how.

I spent a little over $700 on my swap with used SN95 spindles and calipers, new rotors and pads and Ranger axles and new drums.
