better/bigger brakes, stopping power something the foxbody lacks in stock form.

if a sn 95 set up, superior bearing upgrade for one that u dont have to constantly adjust not that anybody does anyways, doing brakes u wont have to pack the bearings that end up in a hour plus job,way better brakes, my fox now out stops my vette. way better cheaper wheel choices.

4 lug set ups look horrible unless you have caps to cover up the lugs.

I cant stand the look of 4 lug cobras each time I see a fox with 4 lug cobras im assuming the owner just bought the car because he likes Mustangs but doesnt know that modifying is possible.

It does look way better the only downside I can think of is u can't rock ponies. But they do look way better 5 lugged and disc braked.

I remember my old vert was a 4 lug I was always breaking a stud for some reason..... So I'm assuming 5 lug is stronger

I stayed 4 lug and went with some 17x10 and 17x9 SCs. Upgraded the front brakes and I'm happy... I don't even think about 5 lug anymore.
