x2...all the parts needed are much much cheaper gathering them up yourself

What about the front spindles and calibers backing plates pads mounting brackets? How much does that cost?

Post the link. If u get performance brakes with it. I'd say go for it but idk. I never looked into those kits. Never had 4 lug.

If you do that, you might as well kiss your wheel selection good bye!!!

You use Lincoln rotors and keep your existing spindles,calipers etc. if you want to do it as inexpensively as possible.

ah! Good idea never thought of that. Is the wheel selection really that different?

if you do what ... what is the best route to go ... i want to put bullets on my car ..

[lib88stang]

for FORD bullitts you need 94-95 spindles,calipers and rotors and either steeda balljoints or a spacer. 96-04 stuff also works but makes the front a little wider.

If you buy aftermarket bullitts the hub on the wheel is bigger and you can use the lincoln rotors. The lincoln rotors have a big hub where the wheel bearings go, so if the wheel have a small hub it won't fit. I had ford bullitts and ground the hub down on lincoln rotors to make them work but center didnt fit right so I swapped it out for 95 stuff.

Yep. With the Lincoln rotors, the hat will not work with the Bullet wheels. Or any other ford wheel for that matter. You would need to run a 1/2" spacer just to get them on then you would be way out in the front end. Basically, the only way to do the 5-lug is to run SN spindles. Then you gotta choose weather you want to maintain the Fox width (94-95) or go 5/16 wider on each side with '96 and up. Then you need the sn brakes as well. Thats a whole nother can of worms. Simple but so many choices!!!!

Indeed, unless you like Weld wheels :D They fit fine (draglites, prostars, rodlites). The SVO stuff on the front of my car is the same as the lincoln stuff from the spindle out. Wheel selection is a bit of a bitch, and even like aftermarket bullets are hit or miss if you can put the center caps on.

There are several options for axles (alloy USA, etc) for new fox width 5 lug reasonable. As was said, add the drums from a parts store, then pick your poison up front, either go with the lincoln stuff and suffer with wheels, or do a SN95 swap.

Or you can get stupid like I did and do the full Cobra conversion with a 31 spline rear. HAHAHAHAH

best,cheapest way... did a few this way.

only thing is good luck on finding 2 axles from a upull it yard. i heard secriest in dawson closed (the upull it side anyway.)

[stangfever]

i think ill find a nice set of 4 lug wheels and skip the conversion

With lincoln rotors you can run waffle ponys, 17 inch split tri bars, 96 Cobras and like Bob said all welds. Also most aftermarket cobra r's, fr 500 and bullitts have the bigger hub for rangers, lincolns etc..

[stangfever]

cant find any of those wheels, not cheap anyway ... i wanted to run bullets so i could put the 2 inch lips on the rear ..

In that case, your car cant be lowered and you have to run a 7/16 spacer on the rear.

But will you be able to put the center cap on? I did not know there was such a variance between aftermarket manufacturers.

with these yes the centercap can be used. i ran the 97 gt split 5spoke on my 89 fox and i had to change over to sn95 front setup to run the centercap.
