Go to the 5.0 fox tech threads, there is a whole lotta info there on 4 lug to 5 lug swaps.
I'd answer your question but it would be confusing and probably wouldn't work anyway.

You can use them....but 94-95 Spindles are really the preferred spindle for use on a Fox body with stock K-member.

I've seen plenty of guys run the 96+ spindles, but there are negative consequences to this. If you are in the parts acquiring stage, I'd try and get some 94-95 versions...even if the 96+ spindles are free.

This^ and it is all explained here in @Mustang5L5 's thread:
https://www.stangnet.com/mustang-fo...5-lug-brake-conversion-upgrade-thread.801400/

Additionally, you can a TON of Fox resources in this index:
https://www.stangnet.com/mustang-forums/threads/technical-thread-how-to-index.808661/

That link is worth bookmarking.
