Opinions please.

better/bigger brakes, stopping power something the foxbody lacks in stock form.

Way more wheel choices plus bigger better brakes

if a sn 95 set up, superior bearing upgrade for one that u dont have to constantly adjust not that anybody does anyways, doing brakes u wont have to pack the bearings that end up in a hour plus job,way better brakes, my fox now out stops my vette. way better cheaper wheel choices.

4 lug set ups look horrible unless you have caps to cover up the lugs.

For looks, that one extra lug makes a big difference to seansoned 5.0 Veterans.

I cant stand the look of 4 lug cobras each time I see a fox with 4 lug cobras im assuming the owner just bought the car because he likes Mustangs but doesnt know that modifying is possible.

It does look way better the only downside I can think of is u can't rock ponies. But they do look way better 5 lugged and disc braked.

I remember my old vert was a 4 lug I was always breaking a stud for some reason..... So I'm assuming 5 lug is stronger

From time to time you can find 5 lug aftermarket ponies in 17 inch

Go 5 lug!! It is relatively cheap and you can stop so much better!!!

Stopping is 100 x better if you use the sn upgrade

I stayed 4 lug and went with some 17x10 and 17x9 SCs. Upgraded the front brakes and I'm happy... I don't even think about 5 lug anymore.

I love me some Pony rims ![[Smile]](smile.gif)
5 lug is nice to have but keeping it original to the foxbody style is nice. plus you can always swap a turbo coupe rear into a fox or get some cobra rear brakes.
It really comes down to preference. no matter 4 or 5 lug I need to have some Pony rims on my foxes ![[Whoo Whooooo!]](graemlins/woowoo.gif)

Of course you should. People who say stay 4-lug just have obviously never driven a fox with cobra disk brakes all around, or just don't drive fast enough to know how much they suck.
