hey guys, i dont really know what all is swappable between the fox body styles so hopefully u can help me with this. i have a 90 lx hatch and i can get a rearend off a 96 dirt cheap with disc brakes and 5 lug, will all this swap over? or will it be a fab up type of job? ANY help is welcome, i have 5 lug konig villains i wanna put on but i gotta do the 5 lug swap first so any opions would be great, thanks!!!

I'am pretty sure it's an even swap. Though I'am not positive. I think the 96' rear is 3/4 of an inch longer on both sides. You will have to fab soem brake lines and E-brake cables. I don't think the swap will require that much fabbing at all.
