standbye.........

IMO, eventually , you're going to come to this anyway

Mustang Fox Body 5 Lug Conversion Kits at LRS - Same Day Shipping!

Decent adapters are very expensive, Eibach (among others) make decent ones, even ones that you can autocross on, but there's also a lot of junk out there so beware.

thank you. first honest opinion

everywhere iv looked all i can find are people sayin their crap and not to get them and others sayin their great.

but i dont really autocross or do alot of high speed turning. its my DD and the most i do is get on it for about 3 miles TOPS and thats once in a blue moon, literally. lol

ranger and aerostar compilation.. if you use two ranger drivers axles, and you put any kind of power down you will be breaking the passenger side on the mustang quickly.

why not just take the rear end out of a sn95 is it ?

I have a complete lincoln rear end myself, same width and setup as the saleen fox body's and svo's. then I just put MkVII rotors on the front. Before I put it on the road though I will need to upgrade my prop. valve and master cylinder.

1. lincoln / saleen / svo setup (disc all around)
2. sn95 setup (disc all around)
3. LRS setup (drum rears)

those are the only three I would go with

dude i have been doing five lug swaos for years.i"m telling you that s/n95 axle is no stronger then the ranger axles.same shit,same material.ones wider then the other.people have been doing the ranger axle swaps for years.unless he is make 400+ on slicks he will be just fine.plus this kid is most likely on a budget like the rest of use.
