5 lug conversion

RE: 5 lug conversion
cobra brake kit goes for about $2k, right? If you want I can send you my parts list for my brake setup. Baer front kit (C5 vette calipers) and sn95 cobra rears. 5 lugs all around. I put together the kit for about $1750, and that includes race-duty pads. This kit will outperform the cobra kit, and make use of the better sn95 spindles.

the 96-98s are approximately 8 mm wider, but they offer more camber and caster i believe (a good thing). they may have better ackerman steering as well. i am planning on using 96-98 spindles on my car.
just an fyi the cobra rear calipers are exactly the same as stock v6/gt rear calipers. the difference is in the rotor. it is 11.65 inches D and a vented rotor. you can get a kit that inlcudes brackets and rotors from frpp for $170 through summit. then use a master cylinder from a stock 94/95, used v6 rear calipers, sn95 axles, and 5 lug wheels and ur all set for rears. front im using 96-98 spindles with the baer gt kit (c5 vette brakes). you can probably get all that for $1500 (w/o wheels) and have amazing brakes

Well with svo or mark rotors the center cap will not fit with the fr-500's...and i would highly recomend a 255/40/17 since a 245 will not fit a 9 inch wheel square and will look retarded up close..
