Depends on which kind of wheel you plan to run? Just changing the rotors to 5 lug is easy, but alot of wheels will not fit (at least the center caps won't)

KCsoa22.... did you happen to notice that after they told you that you shouldnt upgrade the front without doing the rears, that they placed in a paragraph about how they sold all the parts you need for the rear!

All of your hydralics can be re-balanced with the use of a simple proportioning valve.

here's a kit that doesn't use anything to balance the hydralics. any opinions on this one? http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/...1&comp=LRS

i notice it mentions wheels that are usable with this kit without modification. i don't see my beloved 03 cobra rim listed. what mods would i need to fit it?

I did notice, thats why I asked if anyone thought He was just trying to get me to buy a M-2300K kit.

I will tell you this, I ended up with 95 GT Front brakes, rear drum, and the car stops like complete crap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! To rectify the problem, I am in the middle of installing a front and rear setup from Baer.

Yeah, I think MM was trying to sell me stuff, but he was also right. I truly think if I was to do it again, I would pony up the $2200 for the FMS kit, save the aggravation, have everything I need including spindles and just be done with it. Just my .02

They will fit, you will just not be able to run center caps. If you have to go this route, and want center caps, longer studs, and a spacer would work. However, I would not encourage ANYONE to run wheel spacers.
