I am pretty sure I want to do a SN95 5 lug conversion, and use the 99+ GT wheels. There is only 1 u-pull it yard in my area, and i have never seen a 94+ stang there. Are they any other cars with similar spindles/hubs?
I could get them from another J-yard, but that costs a lot more.

why not do a lincoln mark VII brake conversion, there is a great site for the info, and the brakes are better. They are vented and larger. And the parts are cheaper. Think about it.

That does not work with the 96 + Mustang 17" wheels. Plus the only difference in the front rotors is the additional lug. No different size in the rotors! Where you getting your bad info?

Think about it!

How much you wanting to spend? Where are you located?? I could get you everything from the front of a 94-95 stang for $200. Spindles,calipers, rotors and brake lines. Except for the spacers you need on the ball joint, you;d have to come up with them yourself.Of course you would have to pay shipping also.

thanks for the offer, but I am in kansas, and I think shipping would kill me.... also, I know it is no fun shipping that heavy crap.
I didn't realize that I would need a spacer for the ball joint.... I will have to read this website a lot more... soon as finals are over that is.
I am sure I will be able to get these parts from one of the "they pull it" junk yards around here, just not as cheap as the one "u pull it" yard we have.

Your best bet is to go with the Baer "M2300K Killer" at www.baer.com or dndmotorsports.com

I installed the Baer 13" tracks on the front and 12" sports on the rear. It cost me $2100.00 but it was worth it to save time and frustration that would cause me to lose motivation.

your rotors in the front would be the same with sn brakes too, but you would need to change the spindle and such. I was talking about the rear rotors being larger. Besides, lincoln brakes have larger calipers I believe and they are vented, GT's arent.

The Lincoln rear conversion is a pain in the ass. Sure they are 11.35" rotors and large 54mm calipers but the offsets are what is screwy. You either push the wheels out 1.25" or you can flip the brackets and retain stock offset and have a "sucked in" look with any SN95 wheel.

Take it from someone with a Lincoln rear disk setup. It's nice and all but a PITA. If i could do it again i would go SN95 rear

With lincoln spindles and rotors, the dust cap won't clear the center cap on the wheels. It is on that website.
