5 lug conversion pics are in

Almost done. I have been really busy at work so this only gets a few hours on the weekends. I need to put on the calipers and do my adjustments and she will be ready. I put her on the ground so I could fit the wife's car in the garage now. I love the stance. sits perfectly and after many trips to tire rack I got the right tire combination. Next will be to test it on the road. I doubt I will have any rubbing issues though. Looks clean on all sides. Close on the front inner wheel wells. enjoy

Details on parts you chose please

 

[rdharper02]

Looks phat, have my bullets and sn95 spindles waiting in the shed. Unfortunately my axles are on back order.

Brakes look funny with no calipers on them

Yea - kind of puts a new twist on a "rolling chassis"

 

[old_blue]

HAHA yeah, try moving a car with no brakes.... a lot of clutch work on my part LOL!.

as for paint, there is a spoiler in the background on the fourth pic that has a dark blue on it. It is a GT spoiler that I bought just for the paint color. It is sexy as my wife calls it. Trim will probably go blue too

as for parts:
-eibach sportline springs
-sn95 front spindles with pbr calipers (not pictured LOL)
-axles are a 96-98. I love the extra width. I think it is 3/4 inches wider on each side. I think it looks fkn sweet on the foxes. sets the tire out just wide enough.
-rear calipers are sn 95.
-front tires are 245/45/17 nitto 555
-rear tires are 255/45/17 nitto 555
-rear end has a 3:73
-brake booster is from a 95 stang
-master cylinder is from the same 95

Hope this helps. If you need any help with anything let me know

 

[old_blue]

oh and thanks for all the compliments. It gives me the motivation to finish it. Plus I put it together with the help of most the guys on here. Stangnet rules!! now if I can just get the paint on it and the 351W on the side.

D@mn it! That is almost exactly the same set-up I'm working on right now and you beat me. Looks really good though with the blue, makes me want to get mine done even quicker now.

Let us know how everything performs.

 

[old_blue]

I have been working on putting the parts together for quite some time now. I didn't have my mustang for like 6-8 months so I had some time on my hands to buy upgrades. I also have a explorer intake that I am sending the lower to TMOSS and I have a 65mm throttle body as well. A few other odds and ends here and there. It is getting there slowly but surely. I want to take my time to make sure everything is right. Discount tire was really kewl and let me try out a few tire sizes. Of course I just brought them the rims and they put some different sizes. I knew the fronts would be good but hte rears I wasn't sure on so I tried about 3 different times before settling with this one. Looks better in person as it fills the wheel wells very nicely.

Looks great from the photos anyway, has me more convinced on the Bullitts I bought. I've been gathering parts now since November, so it's been about as long as you, it must be nice to get it done. I have the last week of June off from work so she'll be done by July.

Get 'er done, wash her up and post up more photos!

 

[old_blue]

will do, I will be starting body work though so I won't be polishing the crappy paint she has now. But i will take more pics on the road and out and about.

 

[1990Coupe]

Sweeettt!!!! i loveee the bullitts... right now im just trying to get the new coupe on the road

 

[25thmustang]

Looks good and sounds similar to what I have planned. I would think your front tires and rims rub a lot, because they seem to be tucked under the fender a good deal. Did you have issues getting them under there, and is there a decent amount of room?

 

[old_blue]

no issues at all getting them in there. And no there isn't a lot of room but looks like enough for wheel travel. I will find out under severe corning how it does once I get it all buttoned up. I planned on originally running a 40 series tire but that didn't fill the wheel well enough for me.

 

[Dtowncats]

Did you try a 275 at all for the rear? I am planning on doing the swap later in the year but I am not sure if I am doing disc brakes in the rear yet. Thanks for the pics though. It looks great!!

 

[Busted07]

looks great! imo I would repaint that with the moldings same color looks good with the blue.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO thats what everyone is doing these days... IMO it looks better with the black moldings.. but thats just my opinion. i chose to leave mine black to be different, which is hard to do in this hobby we all share
