I just picked up a stock 91 LX 5.0 AT and I want to upgrade the current brake set up along with the rear gears.

Brakes...

I am open to doing the 5 lug conversion, but that means, I'd need to buy wheels too.

I would much rather keep it 4 lug.

Gears...

I plan on staying pretty stock, so I was thinking 3.73s.

I'm in the Fremont area, any suggestions where I can buy everything and also, where I can get it all installed?

If you want to keep 4 lug could look into cross drilled rotors
Ebc pads could do svo calipers but all info ive seen its minimal gain..
If not then sn95 cobra set up would be ideal.
