I am piecing together my 5 lug conversion, and have a couple questions for those who have done this. When I had my '95 and put the PBR calipers and 13" rotors on it, everyone suggested a Cobra master cylinder as well. I didnt have the money at the time, and slapped it together without upgrading the MC and ended up really liking the feel. That being said, has anyone upgraded to 5 lug with that same PBR/13" rotor combo up front, and kept the rear drums on a fox? Rear axles and 5 lug drums are cheap and easy to come by, and I have learned through past cars that I dont necessarily need the best of the best of everything. This is a sub 300 horsepower street car, will never see a track of any kind. I just want better than the stock single piston and 10" rotors up front. Anyone tried this first hand?
PS, I will most likely be getting 5 lug 17" pony wheels, so the look of the brakes is less of a concern than whether the combo functions ok. I can always upgrade to rear discs later, but would like to do this a little at a time and tackle the big pitfall first.
