SSBC 5 lug conversion kit?

[Tasandmnm]

Anyone had any experience with it or just have an opinion/insight on it? I am looking into doing the 5 lug swap on my Cobra without piecing something together from junk yards and found it at 50resto for $1400. http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/iwwida.pvx?;item?item_no=SS-A1122 1&comp=LRS

The price seems very good if the kit does indeed include everything I will need and allows me to run all the sweet 5 lug wheels. Right now I am deciding between the 2000 Cobra R wheels, 2003 Cobra, GT500, FR500, or Konig Villains.

The problem is the snout on the factory rotors. The LRS 5 lug does not resolve the issue. You will have problems fitting centercaps and with some wheels you will not be able to do so. I marked it in yellow:

Here you can see the SN95 is a 2 piece design where the rotor is studless and merely slides onto the spindle:

To solve your problem you will have to do a sn95 swap in the front and get away from the stock rotor design.

Ok...so are there any kits out there that have the SN95 spindles? Or are junkyards the only option??

This is expensive as all hell...but what about this? http://www.ssbrakes.com/products/detail/5098/?make=Ford&model=Mustang&year=1993

Yup, they work. Your options are the Ford M2300 kit, baer kit, or junkyard kit.
