4 to 5

Good day all...

New to the site, however, am looking for information.  My Bird is an 88 Sport.  At this point, she is already wearing an 8.8 from a TCoupe as the 2.73's grenaded in the 7.5 some years ago.  I am now looking to upgrade to 5 lug.  I am familiar with going to 99-04 axles, but am wondering about just swapping the shafts over and whether I can at this point continue using the stock TCoupe rear brakes with the Stang axles.  Long term goal, going with larger brakes...planning for Cobra style. 

In addition, the front conversion, I have heard that I need to change A-arms, spindles, rotors, and of course brakes...

I would appreciate any assistance.  Hopefully, during the next month or so, I can start my shopping...as long as my wife lets me :rollin:

Thanks, and remember that too much horsepower is not enough.  :burnout:
