The DMP stuff they sent me were all custom made brake lines and fittings to make my install waaaaaaaaaaaay easier. MPS sent me the majority of everything else like calipers, hoses, discs, axles, hubs, spindles, pads, etc.... Go with those two companies and your boy is SET! I promise, I am 99% done with my 5 lug swap right now... Just gotta put the 03 Cobra rims on the car and wash it and I am DONE! -------------------- "Men are Made, Not Born" Car Picture : http://www.angelfire.com/theforce/quick88lx/ Original Member #495.

Both together was $900. Then the cost of my rims and tires which since they are brand spankin new cost me another $900. Other than that, there is little stuff like fluids and sealants and little fittings that should bring my grand total to about $1900-$2000 bucks. If he doesn't get new rims and tires though, knock off that extra $900 bucks -------------------- "Men are Made, Not Born" Car Picture : http://www.angelfire.com/theforce/quick88lx/ Original Member #495.

It will be helpful to you if you are going to get junkyard parts to do it. Click on the link in my signature to go to my website. At the bottom of the main page is a link to the article. Have fun.
