Author Topic: 5 lug spindle nightmare cdog301 ¯ Member # 5136 posted                              I just finished my 5 lug upgrade(18X9's Cobra brakes etc) and I like a dummy used 1996 spindles instead of 1994 now I have a crazy rubbing issue and need some advice I am going to get some 1994 spindles but what else can I do to make them fit? I've heard of having the fenders rolled but I don't want to do that unless I absolutely have to ! -------------------- 1992 Notch Dss Pro Bullet Afr 165's GT40 U/L Bassani X w/cats and other goodies!!!!!!!

There is only 8mm difference between the 94-95 and 96-04 spindles, so It may not make a difference and you will need to roll the fenders anyway. -------------------- Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder Posts: 973 | From: Marin | Registered: Sep 2002  |  : Quick 88LX ¯ Member # 1950 posted                                 I have 99GT spindles in the front and i have only very minor rubbing issues. I massaged the front fender a little bit and I have no more rubbing at all. Unless I dive into a turn really hard but I dont do that anymore since I hvae no front swaybar The 96 spindles are fine man. Although, I have an LX and a GT will rub more than my setup does. -------------------- "Men are Made, Not Born" Car Picture : http://www.angelfire.com/theforce/quick88lx/ Original Member #495.
