going next thurs hopefully to try to source the following off a junker or two...
5 lug spindles and maybe grab a set of calipers if I could find a post 99 car so I can has the pbr calipers...
reverse light plug (one of mine is cracked and the bulbs short out)
mid 80s airdam off a ranger
maybe some axles off of two rangers/rear drums too. a bit hesitant on that, I may just get some new ford racing axl
depends on what I can find and how much stuff costs... if I can, spindles will run me in the neighborhood of 30-40 bucks... I wont find any good rims in the junkyard, so I wont even bother with that

Your car looks tight! Why not just lower the front a bit to match the rear..? It's weird, cuz I've talked to people with the Sportlines, and some sag, and others have said they've had theirs for years with no issue. I'll just keep my eye on em...do you think the shocks have anything to do with the sag/no sag issue?

I just want to make sure I have enough clearance before I go and drop the thing, then have issues with wheel fitment and turning radius etc. cuz I have rubbing with my ponys and 245 series tires.. but when I convert the front to 5 lug, I'm pulling the control arms off to replace the bushings and ball joints. its pretty quick/easy to dismantle the front end of these cars... lol luckily mine is not super rusted

How big of a tire are you wanting out back? If you didn't read my build thread I haven't had any rubbing issues yet up front with the 96+ spindles so far. I still need to drive around with the splash shields in but that shouldn't be too bad. Remember that is with 275/40's up front and in the rear too 
I do know my tail pipes are really close in the back but those have been cut, removed, and adjusted many times on multiple cars so that doesn't surprise me.
