so this summer im going to do the 5 lug, ive got other threads on this but i figured id do a current one.

i have got 4 bulletts. 2 have 245-45-17 bfg gforce kdws with about 50% tread left i guess. other 2 have no tires, probably going to get 2 gforce sports on there and rock the two kdws's until i can afford 2 more sports. one bullitt is a little lighter in color than the others but that can be fixed another day.

aside from that my plans are as follows:

94-95 spindles (local junkyard charges 26.00 a piece)
94-95 calipers (junkyard charges 11 a piece)
94-04 rotors ( they are the same 94-04 right?) i can get 2 from my friend brand new for 50 total.
then pads from advance for a 94-95 are 38 for wearever golds
then i need hubs. junkyard is 26 per side, advance 67 per side, dont know what to do here, i like the junkyard price but i might want new ones.
then i need that fitting for the passenger caliper 4 dollars on LRS.
now what else is needed in the front? dust caps? and 2 lugs i know.

then the control arm thing, my ca's have shot bj's and bushings. is it cheaper to get bjs from advance (im an employee i get 20% off advance stuff) and busings from lrs, and pay to put them on, or to get the FRPP lower arms for 274? if i do that first way, then should i get 94-95 bj's fox bj's and the spacer, or 96-04 bj's?

then the rear is going to be ranger/aerostar axles (12 a side from j-yard)
then drums (j.yard is 8 a side, advance ones are 64 per side. i think thats after my discount too.

i was gonna do pbr's but dont wanna do the master cyl. now, i read that pbrs you basically will have a soft pedal, so 94-95s are only a little bigger single piston. so im just trying to get these bullits on basically. anything youd change? i think i got it about as simple as i need it. please inform me of whatever else i need. do i need braided stainless lines?

also i think im going to get new iso's inthe front (ford ones) and take them out in the rear with some electrical tape, sound like the best plan for c-springs im trying to get to sit level?

thanks guys.

no one? there was a 95 v6 in my junkyard. i got the 2 front calipers, 2 spindles, and 2 hubs, with the dust shields and the caliper mounts for about 75 bucks. and i have new pads, and rotors. all i got left is the control arms, and 2 tires and the ranger rear stuff. any suggestions?

wasnt bad. idid the tie rod, then the caliper and mount, and then the strut, that was a pain cause the thing wanted to uncompress so i had to hit the bolts out while pushing them down on the other side, then i soaked the bj bolts in pb blaster whilei ran home to get a 24 mil socket and when i got back that bolt came off by hand (no hammer)

If the 95 V6 has the rear end, buy the whole thing if you want rear disc. Then swap the axles, caliper brackets, calipers, and hard and soft lines to you rear end. If you do this you'll need the 93 cobra MC and brake booster. But with your discount, this shouldn't be too much more. If you go rear disc, you'll also need a 3 to 2 port conversion.

Check the link 85 posted for 3 to 2 port options.

Other that that, the list sounds good.
