[QUOTE="TcM-668, post: 107361, member: 2854"] I recently converted my 93 GT Conv to 5 lug using the 94 spindles/axles etc. I got the parts from Daves Mustang parts and it truly was plug and play. 2 minor problems. I have to install a spacer in the passenger side of the steering rack to limit wheel travel to the left, as the 17x8 Bullit wheels scrub against the lower control arm. I chose to go with 17x9 Bullit style wheels and 275x40x17 tires in the back, and with the Steeda Stage 3 G-Trac kit and the 94 axles, it lowered the car enough and pushed the tire out to the edge of the wheel well, that the driver side wheel well lip contacts the tire. I put the Tokico shocks on setting 5 for full firm, but it still rubs. I took the soft hammer approach to the wheel well lip, but it still touches. I am hoping the adjustable sway bar will resolve some of that, and stiffen the rear enough so that it wont happen any more. I really like the look of the 17x9s in the back as it gives the car a very aggressive look from the back, and don't want to go to 17x8s if I don't have to. Just my $ .02 worth.
