    I made my mind up that project daily driver needed to be re-shoed.
    I decided to do a Budget 5 lug swap. I decided to run Tribars so I could do the mark7 svo rotors up front.

    Heres where I am at:
    Ranger axles 50.00
    New Ranger drums 22.99 shipped (ebay)
    Lincoln/svo rotors 92.00 shipped (ebay)
    Tribars with tires 145.00 (ebay) They were 107.00 But I drove over to get them in Illinois so I included gas and food in the price.

    Im at 309.99

    I Still need lubricants and a gasket.

    Thats pretty resourceful. Are you upgrading the brakes later as well?

    Probably not. I just wanted to run the tri bars and if I can find a set I want to run the 96 cobra wheels. Both will work with the set up I have chosen to do.

    I recieved my rotors and drums today via UPS I went to Advanced Auto and
    I bought all the seals gaskets gear oil and trac loc additive etc etc.


    My total spent for everything I needed to completly do my five lug swap came to $366.24

    Now all I need to do is find the time to do the swap.

    Looks good, I didnt know your car was white. Personally I wouldve painted the wheels white, I love white cars with white rims, especially fox GT's.

    I think I'm going to turn my tribars into '93 R's, they already have the polished lip under the paint. The black should look good on my silver car.
