5lug swap JY style

[140CILX-Coupe]

Ok I got to thinking a few min ago about what I like to upgrade my brakes and less trips to anywhere.

I was thinking why not just take the entire front suspention with the brake components, spindles, sway bar rear end with brake components, master cyclinder and just do a compleat switcheroo.

Hell for the rest of the 2.3 folk who do this have to swap over the spindels anyway so wouldent just taking the whole lot be the quickest and cheapest way to swap?

Yeah the track is different but that I can deal with I would just have to what roll the fender lips a bit and have 5lug AWdisk.

Wouldent swaping over to the sn components be better for the handeling of the car?

Also when ppl do the JY sn5lug why do they want to keep the fox track when they get sn wheels and then its still not sitting on the fox track, correct?


Constructive comments, corrections and advice please.

You can swap Ranger rotors onto the front, and aerostar or ranger axles/drums to the back. Presto, 5 lugs.

If you're looking for bigger brakes, the best bet is to go with GT spindles up front, and for ease, swap out the rear for a 8.8 rwdb 5 lug.
If you are considering the whole front frame swap, you might as well go full tube chassis. Seriously, you would need to take out the engine, take off the K-member..... which means the springs, which are a bitch to get back in.

If you have a full shop with lift, hoists air tools, etc, it would not be that bad, but excessive for a JY style swap.
Changing spindles is not such a big deal once you have done one.
