You can buy a shaft from Maximum Motorsports that allows the Fox column and SN95 rack input shaft to mate. Also, as I said earlier, you need to change the TREs too. Taurus for stock spindlesSN95 for SN95 spindlesMMST-13 $220.Ok, thanks. That's a bit pricey thou. I wonder If I could fab my own up? Quote Selected

Front coil-over install Reply #21 – October 02, 2007, 06:18:05 PM Looking mighty spiffy. I really liked the 11-inch PBR setup on my 87TC. Going disc out back?Uh, is that Knox Creek? :) Quote Selected
Front coil-over install Reply #22 – October 02, 2007, 06:33:47 PM Quote from: Ether947;180340Going disc out back?Yes. My '99-'04 axles arrived Saturday, but one of the ABS tone rings was broken. D'oh. Nothing a new one (bought by the salvage yard that sent the axles) and a press won't fix.I still need to trial fit the axles and SN95 brakes before I order the TrueTrac. As of yesterday, the "ship date" was 10/10. Today it has moved to 10/19. I don't want to know how far off it will be in a week. After discs, paint. After paint, world domination!QuoteUh, is that Knox Creek? :)It is by the Indian Creek Greenway. Quote Selected
Front coil-over install Reply #23 – October 02, 2007, 10:13:19 PM Why would you go with the 99'+ axles? I've always thought that you had to go with the 94-98' axles for the rear to be the same width as stock? Quote Selected
Front coil-over install Reply #24 – October 02, 2007, 10:20:14 PM The '99-'04 axles will still fit under the fenders with 17x8 wheels, so I decided to use them. Wider is better.Also, to run discs on '85.5-'88 7.5" rears, you need the wider axles. '94-'98 stuff won't work. Quote Selected

Everyone loves to say its 3/4 of an inch for everything width related. Quote Selected

The current wheel lip is about 1/16" in from the outside of the fender. I don't know how that will be when the suspension travels into bump. Quote Selected
