What do you guys recomend using for a 5 lug swap. Either 94-95 spindles or the 96+ spindles and why? I know that the 96+ widen the track slightly, but I am wondering if this is perfered or if the 94-95 is the way to go.
Thanks
Thanks
The 96+ cars have better calipers
8mm is about 5/16"....not 3/8". Take an 8mm socket out of your tool set and look at the gap....it isn't much at all. I am using them with my 81 notchback. Reason....I am using the 2001 rear end. That puts the wheels out 1-1/2" on each side outward. So I will take all I can get on the front. 8mm will be better than nothing. It won't hurt either way.
It is actually 13mm per side as the 94-95s Increase the Track Width by 5mm and then another 8mm with 96-04s, but since you are going with a 3" wider Rear Track you can use the extra up front.
Oh great. How come I haven't heard this before?? I think I will still be OK. I will get the left side on Saturday and I will mount the wheels and hang the fenders and see where they are at. If it looks bad I will switch to the 94-95's. I have both, so we will see what happens. Thanks.........
About a Year ago someone on the Corral put up the Blueprints for the Spindles, 94-95s will increase your Stock Track Width by about 5mm per side, the 96-04s will add "another" 8mm per side. If you have Bumpsteer Issues you can stick with 94-95s and use 91-93 Tie Rod Ends or a Bumpsteer Kit, the 96-04s seem to handle Bumpsteer slightly better. My personal choice is to stick with 94-95s.
