Incredibly I have collected all of the pieces I need for my 5-lug conversion in exactly one month. YAHHH!!!
Cept for my dust shields......
I have been hearing mixed opinions on which ones to use. I am going to be installing 13 inch rotors with Bullitt pbr calipers in the front and 11.65 inch in the rear.
Im using 94 spindles and northracecar brackets in the rear.
Which ones do I need?
Thanks

In my opinion, why would you go through all that trouble and put nice brakes behind a nice set of 17s if you're just going to cover it all up? That's what they make brake/wheel cleaner for!

Dust shields go behind the rotors not in front.

I have the exact same setup. Here are the part #'s. These are ford part #'s by the way.

Front - f4zz-2k005-a
f4zz-2k004-a

Rear - f4zz-2c028-a

Those are the shields you need.

I just went to the Ford dealer and got 94 Cobra shields . Then I didn't even use the front ones It still stops the same, even in pouring rain which I've sadly had to deal with a couple times thereafter. (damn car shows/bad weather!)

They should be $10 or under each. Real cheap.

The rears are the same. The fronts are different for each side. They were around $10-12 each. Don't get the rivets to attach them. I just used some 1/4" bolts with some washers and nylon lock nuts. Just make sure the bolts are not too long.
