I have a set of 3.8 spindles off a 97 in the garage are these the same as the ones that came on the gt's and cobras? If so this will same me some cash on my 5 lug swap, I know they are 8mm wider then the 94-95 spindles but just not sure if the v6 and v8 spindles were the same in 97.

Thanks!

yup, v6, gt, and cobra spindles are all the same. the caliper bracketry and rotor are the only thing that differentiates a v6/gt from a cobra.

So if you can get all v6 stuff for both side hubs spindles rotors calibers for $100 thats cheap? And then to upgrade to Cobra brakes just need to buy the brackets and calibers, rotors?

Thats definately cheap.
I paid $210 for the spindles (with hubs) and calipers.
