Can I use spindles from like a 98/99/2000 mustang with the cobra calipers and rotors for a fox body 5 lug conversion?

If you dont want bump steer issues, use 94-95 spindles. 96-04 spindles will all have bump steer issues on a fox. 94-98 spindles increase track width about 4mm, 99-04 increases about 8mm

Bumpsteer can always be compensated for..personally I don't see why one would want a wider track width [Confused]

what stan said is correct. and unless you know how to adjust for bump steer don't assume it can be easily fixed.
