Finally got my hatch converted to 5 lug with sn95 spindles and rear disc setup, it took me a little over 2 days because i didnt have the little tool to turn the rear caliper pistons in. Gutted the stock prop. valve and and used the stock booster with a 94 GT master cylinder, FRPP adj. proportioning valve, fox length 31 spline moser axles







I was surprised my lowered car cleared the 275/40/17 rear tires, i was expecting them to rub. The 245's rubbed up front but it wasn't bad

What did you use to get the stock length axles to work with the disks? North RaceCars Bracket? Also, what diff did you use?

Looks great!

Looks good bro! What calipers did you use on the front? I used the PBR's and th car stops great. I kept the rear stock drum, but I installed all new hardware to ensure reliablity.

The rear diff is an eaton that i had installed last year when i changed to 3.73's
and yeah the caliper brackets are NRC's

For now i just used the stock gt front calipers, eventually i hope to get the 13" cobra kit since i have big enough rims

Perfect

Looks absolutely perfect.

Those are the exact wheels I want to use on my black lx when I go 5 lug. I want something understated (no polished or chrome stuff) and sleeperish.

Would you mind running down a parts list and a total cost for us?

Well I bought this '94 for $1500 and used everything off of it except the axles and caliper brackets






Parts off of 94 GT
front spindles
dust shields
front & rear calipers, rotors
caliper bolts
master cylinder
and i used the rear brake lines off of the axle housing so the fittings matched the rear caliper hoses
17 inch svt rims and tires , painted the rims silver
used the fox brake booster



I bought These parts from LRS

http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/iwwida.pvx?;item?item_no=MOS-4235ME3 1&comp=LRS

http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/iwwida.pvx?;item?item_no=LRS-2078HDW 1&comp=LRS

http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/iwwida.pvx?;item?item_no=LRS-2100C 1&comp=LRS

http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/iwwida.pvx?;item?item_no=M2810A 1&comp=LRS

2 of these
http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/iwwida.pvx?;item?item_no=LRS-2635D 1&comp=LRS

This adj. prop valve looks different from the one i recieved i think they updated them, and the stock union fittings hooked right up to the adj. prop. valve
http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/iwwida.pvx?;item?item_no=M2328C 1&comp=LRS

This plug has no pic but it replaces the plug in the front of the stock proportioning valve, removing the old plug was a PITA and stripped out immediatley, very soft metal i think it was aluminum or something, i ended up getting it off with vise grips
http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/iwwida.pvx?;item?item_no=M2450A 1&comp=LRS

I didnt use these adapter fittings since i ended up using the rear sn95 hardlines
http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/iwwida.pvx?;item?item_no=LRS-2282HDW 1&comp=LRS

And This is why the 94Gt was so cheap



Obviously i could have saved almost 500 dolars if i used the sn95 axles and caliper brackets but i needed 31 spline axles and wanted to keep the fox track width

I put about 2,200 into the conversion including the car
Im going to sell the hood (cervinis), rear end, doors, engine, trans, and front fenders off the '94 hopefully ill get $1,000 out of this stuff and then ill only have about $1,200 into the project
(im keeping the aluminum driveline though)


Heres the 94 after i tore it down, getting ready to be picked up


And the final farewell
