hey guys, 2 quick questions pretaining to a 5 lug conversion

1) Do you use a parts-store SN-95 balljoint replacement, or this steeda X2 BJ?

2)Will these improved 99+ calipers bolt to 94-98 spindles?

TIA

1) I used a spacer, you can find them at most auto parts stores. Just a hardened metal ring that fits snug on the ball joint and is the same diameter as the castle nut.

2) Should bolt right up, I have 01 Cobra calipers on a set of 96 3.8 spindles.

You can use either one. The X2's feature greasable bushings but parts store moog or TRW are good peices.

You can use spacers too..or washer. 5/8" diamter stacked 0.330 high.


They will direct bolt onto 96-04 spindles and slight grinding is needed on 94-95 spindles. Nice calipers to use though...plenty of power for a light car

do you think it would be worthwhile to spend the extra money for X2s on my fox? Im not trying to win the 24 hour le mans here. Its just my DD. But im all about spending more to get the best. I actually already have some 5/8" washers, and was aware of the spacing needed to begin with. Thanks for the replies

AZ took my 2g alt as a core charge for my 3g...i wonder if theyll take 93 calipers as core charge for 01s lol
