I am in the process of installing a 03/04 cobra irs in the rear and in doing so the whole brake system is going too. If I were to use the fox length rear axles or even the pre 99 sn95 rear I would look for some 94/95 spindles. Here is my question... Considering that the cobra IRS is fairly wider in comparison, do you think it would be best for me to also widen my front track using the 96+ front spindles. I am not going to run any rim larger than a 17x8 in the front. I understand that the 96+ has improved bumpsteering and such. Is there any other pro or cons to possibly rolling the fender lip? The 96+ is also a lot easier to find opposed to high priced 94/95 spindles. Thank you for your input and suggestions.

WHat wheels are you going to run? BS?


I know it's commonly said that 94-95 spindles retain stock width, but this is untrue, they do push the front wheels out a little...about 5mm each side, which isn't much really. The 96+ push them out a little more than the commonly thought 8mm as well.
