I got some '97 spindles, I was just curious if I could use them on my car, as opposed to the 2001's I had found and asked about here on the forums

Will they fit my car? If not what exactly is needed to make them fit?

If they don't fit I will just put them on my g/f's '94 (with PBR brakes) and use her spindles

The 97 spindles are the same as the 2001's...albeit for the extra clearence for the calipers.

Damn, I really don't feel like tearing apart 2 cars....I was just reading this page and this guy has a '90 that he put 96+ spindles on, he makes no mention of them not fitting, he has aftermarket tierod ends but doesn't say they are needed for these certain spindles.....

All I can really hope for now, is that the '97 spindles will fit the '94, so i can use the '94 spindles....i still don't understand what the differences are....

Whoops, after reading back through Matt's site..the 97's may already be clearanced for the pbr's. The difference is in the track width. Read Matt90GT's site.

i went throught that site like a lice comb, and i can't find anything on fitment/install notes on putting 96+ spindles on a 87-93 Mustang, or anywhere else, i even searched the forums, i'm getting frustrated, i know people have done this, but how!

Why wouldn't they fit the same?? I'm assuming with the wider track width and your 87 you'll have tire rub issues. Otherwise i see no problems with them bolting up...but i'm not the brake expert.
