since my cobra has rear discs and the 94-98 axles are the exact same length as the 93 cobra axles cant i just have my rotors redrilled for 5 lug, and used the 94-98 axles.

First of all, its a hack job, thats why its not recomended, you have to weld fill the 4 holes first then drill the 5 next. Any machine shop would do it but for the cost you'd be better off getting real 5 lug rotos which wont have any issues.

Also is the offset the same? From axle flange surface to rotor. Rotors cant cost that much.
