here is the dilema

1989 coupe with a griggs k member and a arm setup, the car used to have 95gt spindles and a bear brake kit

the brakes were sold with the spindles

I want to put on a set of 5 lug mark 8 style rotors and spindles from a fox, i actually have these parts already and plan to use them


I have heard that the sn95 spindles use different balljoints

so if i had sn95 spindles and switch back to fox crap, do i need to swap in different ball joints

Yup. You'd need to swap them out.

Swap control arms over. It's ALOT easier...and then sell the SN's!

ball joints cant be that bad

I just realized that I have fox ball joints and sn-95 spindles. No problems here Car tracks perfectly at any speed and caster/camber is controlled via MM plates. I have even taken my wheels off and set them to the side and they wear evenly; no feathering or other signs of mis-alignment. Keep the balljoints dude they are fine. Unless they were swapped and are something other than fox joints?
