I have a 93 gt. Wanting to do a 5 lug on it and I have read and read about different setups. I want to go with the 94-95 model spindles but some say they do widen the track width of the car, others say they do not. I will be running 3.5" draglites on it as I am with the 4 lug, but they are flush, almost sticking out a little from the fenders now. I dont want them any further. Does anyone know if they will stick out any with 94-95 spindles? Anyone have pix of their car with these spindles and skinnies on the front? Also I would like to put control arms on the car when i get my coilover kit installed, If I go with 94-95 spindles, what control arms will I need? I am order from MM.

The 94-95 spindles will NOT create a wider front track. It's only the 96+ that will do that. If you are getting new a-arms, get fox body ones. Don't forget to use a spacer/washers on the balljoint.

I have read that you can order new tubular control arms with a SN95 balljoint, so you can forget about the spacer. I don't run the SN95 front so I am not sure, someone else will though.

What about rear calipers??? I am working on converting to 5 lug and disc rear at the same time. I bought the bracket to make the caliper work on the rear, I just dont know what all years have the same rear calipers... Are the rear calipers for a 94-04 all the same? Or does it just go from 94-98?

If you're running draglites then you will have problems with the big brake conversion on the front. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but the 13" front cobra brakes don't work with the draglites. Can probably get away with the regular SN95 GT brakes.

94-95 spindles will keep the stock track width. 96+ spindles will widen the stock track width.

1. As mentioned above 94-95 spindles do not change track width.
2. You need atleast a 17" wheel to use 13" brakes.

Correct. SN95 balljoints eliminate the need for the .330 spacer.
