That blue vert w/the Cobra wheels is on Cardomain too, I had talked with him a bunch last year. No clue what his name is, though.
Those wheels have me torn between converting to 5 lug or staying with 4 lugs and getting those. At first, the replicas were said to have a chance of being available in 5 lug, but now WR says not anytime soon.
BTW, Manson, do you have a drum setup in the rear? That's what it looks like to me from the past two pics you posted. If so, I'm curious how you feel it performs with the 13 inchers up front. How difficult was that conversion to do? I've read up on it so many times and it doesn't seeem hard to do, but I have never removed a MC or Brake booster.

Currently I have drums, only because I had to get the car together for FFW last weekend and didn't have time to do everything I needed to do, including rear-disc swap. So I didn it the quicker way.
It performs better than stock, that's for sure and probably obvious. The big dual piston setup in front stops the car very well.
I'll have the discs in the rear next week, at least that's plan. I can't wait to see how it stops THEN!

Thanks. I always thought about running that setup for a little bit for budget reasons, but I wasn't sure if it would be unsafely mismatched front and rear. LocoGT is running the same setup on his car (Cobra calipers instead) and I asked him about it before, but he hasn't changed it, so apparently it functions okay.
Yea it's perfectly fine for daily driving. I don't think it'd be very effective or worthwhile if you're Auto Xing or drag racing and always slamming the brakes like mad.
All I do is drive mine on the streets (and not like an *******) so it works well. If I weren't so picky about what I do to my car, I'd probably leave it like it is. But I can't do that

I can tell you 3 ways, PM me for more info on each.
1. complete SN95 rear end
2. SN95 parts
3. Ranger/Aerostar drum axles

Oh I know the various methods I can use. I just don't know the details on making the disc brake methods work. Details I mean are like the brackets, lines, fasteners, park. brake cable, etc.
I want to keep the stock rear track width and I believe you had to use the North Racecars caliper brackets to use with some or all setups. If you know this info as well, I will PM you about it, so not to carry it all out here. Thanks man.
