Don't waste your money on this stuff, go with the real 94-95 SN95 parts so you can actually run some 5-lug wheels.

If you have a 8.8 rearend and you like the pony or turbine wheels is it even worth it to switch the axles? I take it the disc brakes are better then the drums but if you where running 500 hp could you get better drum brakes or would you just not have that stopping power without them. Sorry ive never had all disc brakes.

Its not just the drum/disc conversion in the rear. Its having balanced braking all over the car. The rear brakes being disc is great but its the twin piston front calipers and the larger diameter that really sells the conversion.
