I just finished converting my car over to 5 lug using sn 95 front spindles and running 98 cobra wheels... I just have one question, did anybody else do this conversion and have negative camber in both front tires? Cause its really bad and I think I'm just gonna go have an allignment on it but is there enough adjustment to correct this? Thanks for all your help guys....

Do you have adjustable caster/camber plates. I don't know if this is a common issue but you might need to install adjustable plates to correct the camber if regular alignment won't work.

I just got done with my 5 lug conversion. I installed CC plates during the conversion. This let me adjust everything. Before I unbolted anything I measured from the fender to the strut nut, and from the firewall to the nut. Then I intalled the CC plates and used the measurements to get it back to where it was. I also back out the tie rod ends about 8 turns. That will make it so you can get to an alignment shop.
