    What do ya'll think of the idea. Both RRS and Fatman have conversion kits available. It looks like they are using a stock replacement lower control arm as a mounting point for the 94-02 mustang spindle/brake asemblies and using a standard coilover conversion kit for the 79-93 struts. So... using our stock lower control arms, all we need are donor car parts (tie rods, struts, spindles, brakes) and an upper strut mounting plate.

    Does this sound too easy?

    fatman,i believe, use sn95 spindles,they modify the calipermount with the steering mount and cut off the front mount for the tierod

    If sn95 spindles are from 94 - 02 mustangs then you are correct. In the advertisement it even refers to modifying the spindles to make them work. It says its a minimal mod.
