    Default Fox body 5 lug swap question

    I have found a 85 svo mustang that has 5 lug set up in the front was wondering how easy of a swap over this would be to my 90 lx? Anyone ever seen this done or done it? Are parts easy to come by or would I be better off finding a 94 or 95 stuff to work with. Thanks in advance!

    Have to swap the spindle and a-arm's too-SVO parts are different. Found out when was going to swap out my a-arms for ones from a SVO. It's be easier to swap out the front set-up from a Lincoln Mark VII. Or go w/ the 94/95 stuff.

    hatch is right. And your wheels will stick out to far. Svo's have a wider track width.

    If your '90 is a v8 car, jsut swap a Mark VII rotor on it and you're set.

    It is a v8 car... will the mark VII rotors work with cobra wheels? To my understanding dust caps are too big?

    Yeah that is a problem. Thought there was a way (modifying the hubs,etc. to get te caps to fit.
