Ok so my plan is to have disc all around my car. I know the easiest route for that is to go 5lug. I wanted to go the right route for it so everything worked out alright. I want to have 18 inch rims on it also.

My question was if I was to go 5lug would it be better to buy the actual conversion kit from ford? or buy the axles and what not from here? (from the bronco axle or whatever setup) I heard theres some fitting issues, but I was not sure.

Would that setup also be some what compariable to the ford setup, as in all around support for the car and braking?(Because my biggest concern is to have a great brake setup) but i was not sure what route to take thx for the help [patriot]

Check out this site

www.sn95brakes.com

It has all the info you will need to do a 5 lug conversion. I would personally buy all the parts used. You will save yourself a ton of money.

BTW, I have a 5 lug front setup off of a Lincon for sale for $60 [Wink] PM me if interested [patriot]
