Ive read alot on this as i have purchased 5 lug rims for my car. Ofcourse I bought the ones that dont allow the markVII front rotors to line up ( due to the dust cap hitting the rim). Now my question comes due to having to swap the spindles, rotors, hubs, and calipers from a 94-95. If im correct the struts bolt to the spindles?... does this mean i need to buy different struts then the 87-93 set?...possibly get the 94-95 front due to the swap? or will the 87-93 set work?... i have read http://www.svo73mm.cjb.net/ but they touch on this subject. Thanks.

You do not have to buy 94+ struts, the SN95 spindle will work fine with the 87-93 struts.

Don't forget about the .330 spacer on the ball joint (or press in SN95 Ball joints)

While you're there, you really should think of upgrading to at least '99 PBR or Cobra / Bullitt brakes.. the '94-'95 setup is inferior to the '99 up or Cobra.

Good Luck!
