It depends on your plans. I did mine while I was upgrading my axels anyway. I ordered slotted rotors for a SN-95 to take care of the front. For the rear I ordered Strange Axels and brought some used Ranger Drums. Thats all it took to convert my 92' to 5-Lug. Good Luck!

Easyiest way to do the back is to get 2 left side Ranger axles, axles out of a 94+ with out abs will also work, as will Ford aerostar van axles. For the front get some front rotors for a mid 80's Mark series Lincoln. That way yo udont evne have to change calipers or pads unless you need to..

Thats the easiest way.

If you want to upgrade get the sn-95 spindles and get some slotted rotors for those. Or you can now buy aftermarket front rotors that are slotted and 5 lug for a replacement swap option.. There are ads in several mustang magazines for those rotors.
