You can't use the axles because they are about 1.5 inches longer each. You can use the the caliper brackets and hardware for sure and I believe u can use the calipers and rotors but I'm not 100 percent on this. Someone will chime in and clarify it though.

I want to measure mine. It doesn't look that tall.

from the 02 the only thing you will want is the front/rear calipers and brackets. Ideally for a 5 lug swap on a fox you want the spindles/hubs and axles from a 94-95 car. or the axles from a ranger. There is a massive sticky on this at the top of the page.
