Well I might be getting 5 lug axel's and front spindles for dirt cheap from a firend. Now the ? is , its a v6 stang ( 1994-95). Are the fronts and rears fit?? are they as strong?? I dont mind the rear being drum for now. Are the Axel's the same in the back as a 87-93 8.8?

Front Spindles are the same V6 or GT, the rear axles are wider than the stock fox, so you will have to convert to rear disc to use them.

drivers side ranger axles are same as 5.0 mustang 8.8 axles......but the passenger side axles from the ranger are different lengths.......get yourself two drivers side ranger axles (not sure what years they came in) but if you can locate a couple for $25-$50 each you can save a few coins.........good luck

if you use those axles, you have to go to disc, so you'll need:<for the rear>brackets, anti moan brackets, calipers, rotors, line adapters ;<for the front> rotors, calipers and brackets, brake lines<everything else>94+ master cylinder pref. cobra, 94+ vacuum brake booster, make sure its NOT a hydroboost, and you'll need to gut the proportioning valve and install an adjustable prop valve..... and you got yourself a 5lug 4wheel disc setup....

i used sn95 axle w/17x8 wheels and with 255's it brings the tire right to the fender....
