    poor mans 5 lug swap?

    No, because you will not have to remove the carrier, only the pin that runs through it, the c-clips and finally the axles. It's REALLY simple. it just sounds complicated. Refer to the links I provided for more detailed info on axle removal. Be back in 2 hours, going to take the lady to lunch.

    To remove the old axles, 1. remove diff cover and drain gear oil. 2. remove the carrier pin by unscrewing the 8mm bolt and pushing the carrier pin completely out . 2. push in axles to expose the C-clips in the center of the gear carrier. 3. using needle-nose pliers pull the C-clips out...

    Just curious Ryan, why would you want to keep the drums in the back which are a. out-dated b. more difficult to service c. just plain fugly? It's your car so you can and will do what you want, but if you are going to do it, why not do it the right way? If you lived closer to me, I would...

    You are more than likely going to have to replace the whole striker. In their older catalog, they range from $14.95- $25.95. The prices have gone up a bit I am sure.

    Seriously, ditch the drums in the rear. I would imagine you could pick up a disc to disc 8.8 axle from a 94-95 pretty cheap. As for running the lines.....what lines? All you need is a 3-2 conversion for the master cylinder, a cobra M/C, booster and soft lines in the rear with an adapter and a...

    For someone who can afford to drop the $2k at one time, the kits are great. Ryan218 is on a strict and limited budget so he is going to have to piece it together with mostly used parts. Glad to hear you decided to do the kit though. Find the best price on it yet???

    Absolutely!!!!!!!! I downloaded the M-2300-K brake kit installation instructions and used the parts list as a checkoff sheet. I didn't have to buy the exact part numbers on the list but at least you will know what you need and what you have left to buy once you start checking them off. Do...

    Take your time with your car then man. If you are only 14 (not a slam) then you have plenty of time to save your money for the conversion and whatever else you want (5.0 maybe?). Since your income comes only from yard work, birthdays, and holidays, budget your money wisely and don't lose sight...

    Good point.:nice: If I had my car to do over again, I would do it in this order: Suspension Brakes Wheels/tires beef up rear end transmission then power goodies. Start with a good foundation, then build your house...If not, things break. Good luck man!

    poor mans 5 lug swap?

    I'll tell you this, Doing the Cobra brake conversion was not only the most expensive upgrade I have done to the car.....it was the BEST upgrade I have done to the car. Good brakes are not cheap but you can do the upgrade cheaper than you saw mine done for. Utilize wrecking yards and Ebay. I...
