I know the feeling. The rear should be easy, and once its sitting on those wheels your gonna want to fly through it

I think the fitting on 94-04 calipers is the same smaller size, so you should be okay with the one fitting.

I hope the rear is going to be easy. My worst fear is those upper and lower control arm bolts being "welded" to the inner side of the bushings. I don't want to cut them out! I can't wait till the rear is in and the wheels are on, then i got the engine/trans and misc stuff before i fire her up!!!
Thanks fellas! I'll order it ASAP!

When you get those wheels on I say some dark tint and it will look awesome... The whites growing on me with those wheels.
As soon as i rolled the wheels up to the side of the car with the white i was like "holy hell!"
Especially now that the rims are on the front, The white looks good!

I agree... Im trying to get the old man to buy a set for my sisters car, hands down one of the best fox body wheels you can buy!

Yeah they work fine. I have the 99+ pbr calipers. It only really gets tricky when you start getting into banjo bolts. Love the wheels. I tried some of those on my father-in-law's 91 white lx. They looked great. Good luck.
Brake stuff for upgrade
I don't know if you ever found the adaptors for your brake upgrade yet so I'll still post anyway. I just finished the 5-lug conversion for my '89 LX 5.0 back in the spring...anyway, I found this guy on ebay and he had all of those annoying things you need to complete your upgrade! Here's the link: http://stores.ebay.com/Tech-Parts-Plus-More

BTW, great progress thread!

That is EXACTLY where i ended up getting the fitting from!!!! Your car came out awesome! where did you pick the rotors up from? I'm going to use what i have for now but eventually i want something cross drilled behind those rims
I also found the rotors on ebay....I had planned on using what came with the axles, calipers, spindles...etc, that I got complete (and completely rusted) from a guy on ebay. I learned how to electrolytically clean the rust off of all my parts because of how bad everything was rusted! I alos discovered that one of the rear rotors had a crack in it on one of the bolt holes so, I opted to buy new ones...anyway, the upgrade was fun and frustrating but I love the results! Oh, and the owner of that ebay store that I posted from yesterday is pretty cool and very helpful! He didn't steer me wrong!
Cheers mate!

Update:
Well only day i had to work on the car was Sunday. And even that, my Dad bailed on me and nobody was around to help, so I had none. I was able to get the old rear out (rusty welded in bolts and all) and get the new e-brake cables in. Then i buttoned up the rear end cover, filed it with fluid and got it all ready and prepared to go in. I also spend quite a bit of time fabbing up the softline off the old housing onto the new housing. Right now the soft line was attaching to the passenger side frame rail. I *think* this is the area where the muffler mount will end up. So what i'll be doing is adding to that hard line on the car and moving it to the top of the tunnel. The 99+ rear brake softlines were also a challenge, in the pics below you can see what i ended up doing. All thats left is to add to the hardline on the car and move it to the center of the tunnel, and add hardlines from where the softlines end from the calipers to the T block i fabbed from a combo of the old T block mount, and the good T block off the 4 banger rear. Enough rambling, here are teh pics!
Here is what I ended up doing with the softlines....
Just a little idea of what she'll look like next weekend minus the 4x4 look
my fab up..

I like the brake line set up. That was a good idea. Everything looks to be working out great! You have UCA and LCA's right?? Your car will ride awesome with new springs, isos, and control arms! Did you buy new shocks and struts? I skipped that on Hack Job, but I want to buy new in the spring because bumps are rough with the Steedas and the used shocks & struts.
