i just started a new job as a dismantler at a pick-up truck salvage yard and one of my co-workers who has an 02 roush has spare 5 lug parts off of an 02 GT parts car he said he'd sell me. he said he'd sell me the spindles, rotors, and calipers for $100. is that a good deal?

Spindles alone are worth it.

Howevere, they are prob the 96-04 version I assume? If so, take the rotors and calipers and toss them on eBay for 100 and then buy 94-95 versions.

Ypu can use the 96-04....but the 94-95 are more ideal

This. Even if you spend more on the the 94-95 spindles than you can sell the 96+ ones for, it'll still be a worthwhile purchase. $100 is incredibly cheap. I paid for about $130 for my spindles alone and that was on the low end of what they were going for at the time.
 
I have 98 spindles on mine. Plus, I have a set of 94/95 spindles in the garage. My front wheel sticks out a little further with the 96 and up spindle. The 94/95 is supposed to correct this problem. Its more noticeable with wider wheels. I have a set of 98 gt (8inch) wheels and they were not as pronounced as the 03 10th anniversary wheels (9inch) that I just sold. Guess im saying, the 96 and up spindles are not too bad if you are running a 8in wide wheel.

the 94/95 fix more problems than just the extra 8mm
