Whats the easiest way to identify if you have a 94-95 Spindle? I done my 5 lug setup a few years ago and I have 2003 Cobra(9") wheels up front and im fighting this rub issue. Back when I bought the spindles/hubs I got them from car-part.com and was told they were 95 model spindles. I guess I trusted what they said becuase I dont ever remember verifying the info. I dont know if its were the wheels are 9" or if I actually have 96-98 spindles thats cuasing the wheel to set out too much. Thanks!

i thought all the spindles were the same from 94-04 with only the A arm length changing from SN to New Edge.....i could be wrong though

Wrong. 94/95, 96-98, 99-04 are all different (I MIGHT be wrong with the 96-98 & 99-04, but the 94/94 is DEFINITELY different from the 96-04). Here's the quick way to tell the difference:

Hold the spindle so the hub/lug nuts are facing you. Now look at the steering arm. If it has a curve in it (looks like an upward bend) it's a 94/95. If the steering arm is straight (no bend) it's a 96-04.

There are other differences but they are very difficult to realize by just looking at them, this is the easiest way. If you don't really know what your doing or aren't confident with your knowledge on the subject, get the 94/95 spindles with fox length A arms to save yourself headaches.

Here are some pics of 91 LX with 99 spindles and brakes with 18x9 24mm offset, tires are 275/35/18. As you can see it clears fine(note that the wheel is slightly turned to the right). It has also been lowered with frpp springs.
