5 lug conversion
5 lug conversion
Yes I have the gay *** 4x114.3 mm lugs on my 87 gxl and I wana know if theres any way to convert them or is it better just to take a 5 lug axles and put them on. I wouldnt rather convert since I wana put on some brembo brakes and such but if a new axle is the only way to go I guess that would work. I searched on the internet for a while about this but the only thing I can find is how to convert a old 4 lug mustang into a 5 lug but even all those say that it is much easier to use the axle off a old bronco "ford
" if anyones done this conversion or used the mustang conversion kit some help would be most appreciated

hey not to flame but i just made a post about this a day or so ago and i never got any help im in the middle of the conversion and i dunno if i can mount the front calipers to my front suspension i have a whole parts car to pick from i was just gonna change the hub over am i gonna need anything else?

bronco axle? mustang parts ? where you dropped on your head? rx7 suspension is some that should never be given up for a solid axle. go to a junkyard and get the conversion parts, you'll need wheels too

and the carfax report says its a gxl for the vin the car doesnt even have any emblems
