The 5 lug kit?

[mustangsally93]

Well I'm looking at doing my 5 lug on my pony when I get back. I have found the rims I want but I can't find the whole brake kit and 5 lug kit. I also want to do the front controls arms too.

My rims now dig in my front control arms. I want it fix.

Here are the rims I'm going to get.

Any help on the other stuff would be great.

as for control arms, get a used set off of a 94-95 Mustang, dont get 96-04 control arms with the stock fox k-member because you cannot correct bumpsteer with that setup.

Im doing a 5 lug swap with '94 Mustang front spindles and Ranger axles. Im sticking with rear drum brakes for now.

Dont buy the 5 lug swap kits. Theyre overpriced crap and the rotors they come with wont let you mount most wheels due to the big hubs. The rears are just Ranger axles and drums.

do lots of price checking........i did the five lug with 2001 cobra frt spindles ranger axles and the north racing cobra caliper brackets for rear discs and all hardware and 96 gt mastercylinder and brake booster.... I have between $600-$700 in the swap. I used 24 mm offset wheels in rear and 32mm offset in frts

Yeah, the M-2300-K is over priced, and includes the older style cobra calipers. The 03-04 ones have slightly bigger pistons

Actually I believe the older style has the larger pistons and they are only 2mm so its no big deal either way, and if you shop around and want all new parts the M-2300-K Kit is a pretty good deal.

I put together my own M2300K kit for $1350. Only parts that were used were the spindles, hubs and axles. I modified the stock rear hard lines. Everything else was new. It saved me $700-800 over the kit price.

Thats not including wheels, is it?
I'll have well over $800 into my swap when its all done.

 

[twolo4u2c2]

no....not including wheels and tires....It would've been nice though

It's not a huge deal, but the newer ones have 40mm and the older have 38mm. If you are purchasing new stuff you might as well get the current product.

That what I'm looking for. other than the rotors. I'm wanting to go 13'' inch in the front and 14'' in the back with sloted discs front and back.


Do I need to get the k member or can I use the stock one.

 

[smr]

why would you want bigger rotors int he rear then the front? Just curious? Most of your stopping power comes from front.

Sorry, Yea I want 14 in the front and 13 in the back.

 

[bullitstang1313]

If you decide to go with 14" rotors in the front, you better make sure you can fit the wheels and tires under the car.

With 17x10s I would hope so.

you are going to have alot of trouble with a 17x10 up front.

im not sure a 17" wheel will clear these 14" brakes you want. 13's are plenty, trust me I have them with a 17x9 wheel and its perfect

OK 17x9s all around and 13'' front and back.

Now what do I need to do it?

 

[johnt785]

Does this 5-lug kit work with 18''x9'' Saleens?

The 13" baer rear kit is crap. Avoid it.

Just stick with the 11.65" Cobra rear disk setup. It's a better setup for performance.



i peiced my Cobra setup together for about $750 not including wheels
