Default Question on 5 lug swap

I have a 93 gt i just purchased and it has the 5 lug swap already done, still drums in back and still has the stock 5.0 calipers in front i am wanting to do slotted and drilled rotors but i dont know what year to order them for, i know the 4 lug rotors have the studs and wheel bearings already in them and im not sure which year the swap was done for. Can anyone help me with a way to tell?

pics would help.

if you still have fox calipers, you probably just have ranger or mark Vii rotors up front, which are the same as the 4 lug foxes, except 5 lug.

and drilled rotors arent needed for a street car...

That all depends on what is currently on the car now. You havent shown us anything, so how can we possibly answer you?

If the studs are attached to the rotor, it is likely that you have Lincoln Mark VII brakes. Early 90's IIRC.

If the rotors seperate from the hub and studs, then you likely have SN-95 brakes, which would be off a 94-98.
