Default 4 lug to 5 lug ?

what all do i need to make my front into a 5 lug setup?

there 8.8 i got is 4 also but when i get the strange kit and built it she will be 5 lug so thats no big deal.

i just want to get the front converted over..is there any junk yard parts i can use or anything?


thanks for the help

you should change to V8 spindles and go with LSC brakes at a minimum. i have 4cyl brakes and have warped the rotors twice now going to the track. i now have to be real easy slowing down and go to the last turnoff not to warp 'em.
