    ok in this article... http://mmb.maverick.to/resources/yet-another-way-to-put-discs-on-the-front-of-your-mav.14/ .... does this mean i can use my existing spindle or do i need to still get one from the 5 lug cars?

    ive just bought a 5 lug rear end and want 5 on the front to of course. but in this conversion, am i ok just getting the 5 lug hub only and using with my existing 4 lug spindle? im confused on that issue, but the rest seems pretty straight forward.

    that is another way but...for that money you should be able to get the Mav/Comet front disc setup...and it's a bolt on...:huh:
    all you need is the spindles, you can buy everything else new. then you will have everything one brand.

    ok im sorry. im confused on some of this stuff. ive read so much its all starting to run together. just so i dont get all screwed up on the kit youre speaking of, may i ask you to post me a link to the very one youre talking about? if its a bolt on and all one brand ill just do that. ty sir.

    and if it makes a difference with the kit, i am going with 15" wheels.

    Granada perhaps?
