Whats the best way if i want to make my 93 5 lug all the way and change to disk????? Is it easier to change my whole differential and just swap rotors in front?

get axles from northracecar.com that have the fox width 5 lug, disc hub centric, an correct disc studs. then get my gt or cobra offset caliper brackets for 150, get cobra or gt rotors and calipers, but then for it to properly work you should get a 93 cobra brake booster an a 95 master cylinder, adjustable brake bias control, and then gut the proportioning valve. lol its a lil bit of work to do it properly

If you are okay with 9" wide wheels in the back, the easiest/best way IMHO is to get a 94-95 GT/cobra rearend and just swap it out. And use 94-95 spindles and hubs in the front because a lot of accessible brake upgrades are based off the sn95 spindles.

When you want to go with 10" wide wheels in the back later on, all you need to do is get some ranger axles and some NRC brackets or if you know someone that can weld modify the anti-moen brackets and c notch the caliper flanges so they will mount on the inside, of the axle tube flange.
