first off i have a 4 lug 8.8 but i have all sn95 rear stuff. Will that work in my 8.8? Yes i know they are longer but different people say different lengths.So before i order my wheels what offset do i need. Dont want to order then hit the outside of the fender.I have already beat the inner fender in.

or you can bolt in ranger or aerostar stock rear axles.. they are the same length and 5 lug. the drums with them work fine too or you can change to disk.. email nova. he got aftermarket brackets and used big cobra rear stuff with drill and slotted rotors.. also changed master cylinder brake booster.. brake proportioning valve. rear flex hoses and front line reconfig... but it wasn't all that hard to do.. just money.. LOL plus he did a big upgrade on his front disks too on his sn95 spindles.......the cobra booster in a fox chassis was hardest to get in. roy

I did a sn-95 swap about 8 years ago on my 84 convert. I didn't know any better then but all I did was changed the front brakes and rear end. That was all and 1.5" drop and the car handled like a gocart. Stopping wasn't to bad either. I am getting ready to do the same to a 86 coupe but I will change more than just the brakes this time. Any question give me a holler
