If you already have a bump steer kit, tie rod ends and bushings to relocate the steering rack, installed can they be utilized to eliminate the bumpsteer if using 96-04 spindles?
LMR wouldn't sell me the 5 lug/4 wheel disc brake kit WITHOUT the newer spindles which was another reason why I decided to piecemeal the kit together.
I decided to change the name of the thread and make it an ongoing progress thread. I have enough planned for the car for another 6 months of posts: tune this coming Tuesday (20 Aug), paint and body hopefully this fall and then I'll reinstall my converted black interior. If things get boring I'll just throw in some regional (SoCal) photos.
LMR would not sell me the kit without the new spindles. Meaning everything but the spindles.
LMR is a good resource, and they have some good sales at time (10% off, etc.), but nearly all of their stuff is Chinese made and they can be finicky about parting up items.

That's an option if you want to buy and sell the spindles that come with the kit
I considered that, but the LMR kit doesn't come with stainless steel soft lines or upgraded pads. In my case I bought Hawk HPS 5.0 pads.I understand this may be a very stupid question, but say if cost is not a huge concern would it make sense to buy the LMR kit and then purchase the better spindles separate elsewhere? Assuming everything bolts up to the 94-95 from the LMR kit. Perhaps you can sell the spindles the LMR kit comes with for a couple bucks after?
From my experience it's generally a pain to sell parts online. Many will hit you up for a shipping cost and then disappear when you advise them of the cost.I understand this may be a very stupid question, but say if cost is not a huge concern would it make sense to buy the LMR kit and then purchase the better spindles separate elsewhere?

That kit also doesn’t come with the brake booster either . Rubber lines instead of the better steel braided etc . Every part number is in this thread man . The op did his whole swap based off of all of our input . It’s a matter of plugging part numbers into rock auto and lmr and ordering it all then picking wheels you like and sourcing spindles . Nothing to be lazy about the work is done for youThat is defined tickling my lazy bone.

Bud , this is the issue these kits do nothing except let you run a select few 5 lug wheels . It does zero for braking at that point you may as well not do it .In digging around I came across this:

They stop like crap with stock brakes and that’s what you’ll still have stock brakes . You may as well just buy 4 lug wheels you like and leave it the way it is.
