They say that the rear axles are 25% stronger than stock. Has anyone had problems with these breaking from too much power? And if I wanted to later, can I replace them with 79-93 Moser 5 lug axles or are they a different length?

Save money and go with Ranger axles.

The front rotors in that kit are the Lincoln Mark 7 ones that dont let you use most newer wheels. Do the swap right and get '94/'95 spindles, rotors and calipers.

Basically that kit is overpriced crap.

If you just want 5 lug....
....yeah like said above it is just SVO/Lincoln rotors up front about $25 each at Napa. Then you can use ranger axles about $25 ea around here at a pull a part salvage yard. Just make sure that where the bearing rides is not worn too bad. Thats what I did. I have been running them now for 2 years and about 14000 miles on my 347 w/100 shot on and off the track with drag radials all year round.

If you want to run any 5 lug wheel and better braking do the SN95 complete swap.
