You'r not going to get the stock front discs to work with 5 lugs, unless you get a kit specifically for that, which is a waste of money.

You'll need a larger capacity master cylinder to use 4 wheel discs.

check out the website listed above it has tons of info. when i did my five lug/cobra conversion i referred to it endlessly. if you buy all the parts separate you will come out cheaper than a kit but it takes a while. i had to wait some time to get one of the brake cables i needed for the conversion.

Default master cylinder or booster

You need different spindles to run 94-95 discs. You will also need a hardened washer/spacer in between the 94-95 spindle and stock control arm, otherwise the spindle will not fit on the ball joint properly. Or you could get 94+ ball joints.

I've heard of people having problems with running a stock booster on a sn95 master cylinder. It's a tight fit but I would recommend doing the booster as well.
