5 lug brakes and wheels--- just buy sn95??
Whole bunch of stuff is on sale, so i'm trying to pick up whatever i can afford. My 5 lug conversion consists of 94-95 front spindles and hubs, and ranger axles out back, and im buying high performance front and rear brakes. Do i just buy brakes and wheels to fit a 94-98 mustang? thanks!

i would go slotted, drilled is more just for looks and the holes lessen the integrity of the rotor which could cause it to crack. especially if you do any kind of racing, go slotted.

Yeah i have heard that before, and i plan on doing some racing otherwise i would have chosen something a little less expensive haha.
But in terms of the performance, would the drilled or slotted have an advantage over one another?

When I converted my '91 GT, I did it on a budget...Lincoln front rotors, Moser axles & ranger drums...I had bought 94/95 spindles, brakes, rtc. but sold the car!
With the Lincoln rotors I was able to run the '95 Cobra R's with no problems (no problems on the rear's), thats a 17x9" wheel, 245's up front & 275's in rear....With the stock "Fox" wheel selection is important as some wheels will not go over the bearings up front.
...My understanding is that the 94/95 is an equal swap into a Fox and that the geo. changed on the '96 & up splindles....

Sorry, dont mean to hijack your thread OP. Timspony, When you ran 275's in the rear, was there any rubbing, did you have to do any modifications? Was the suspension stock?
