ok i searched and found the site that lists every way to do the 5 lug swap..

cool i decided i wanna go 94-95 spindles,brakes,calipers,rotors,soft lines etc.. my first question is do i need to change the mc for this as i plan on leaving the rear drum for noe?

this leads to my next question.. what year ranger axles do i need to use as i see here there are axles for 83 to 92 on ebay for 100 ea. plus shipping .. will those work?

The answer to the most important question is, yes you need to change the MC.
The stock MC can't even handle going to the slightly larger lincoln front calipers.

That is not entirely correct...

I have MK VII calipers on my 93, with 1998 grand Marqui rear discs. Save for the wilwood prop. valve, and the gutted stock prop. valve. the car stops NOW, no pedal fade or anything. it has the stock 4cyl booster and MC...
