You can ues the 94-95 alxes on you car and should keep the same track with. The 96-98 have a wider track and limit you to 8" rims. That's if you have swaped to 5 luge brakes.

That is incorrect, the 94-95 has the same width as the 96-98.

You can keep the fox width and get 5 lug using 2 Ford ranger driver side axles or you can buy the 5 lug axles from Moser or Strange that is 5 lug and fox width.

Turbo coupe brakes with modded stock brackets will work fine as well and save you 150.00 on the NRC brackets.

how do you mod the stock brackets do you just cut and weld? buy stock brackets do you mean stock turbo coupe or stock 8.8 drum?

Stock turbo coupe, and yes you cut and weld, or there is a way to cut them and keep 3 of the 4 mounting holes intact, requiring you to only weld 1 smaller piece back on.

Do you know where to get the specs on the bracket to modify it?

I have very limited internet acess right now, I just moved and only dial-up is available in my area until next year. I will try to find them, but if I can't I will do mine (mod my brackets) this weekend and provide pics and specs, just shoot me your e-mail, gdniel@yahoo.com
