'86 5 lug conversion

I have an 86 GT that I will be fixing up as soon as I sell my '10 GT. First thing is gonna be just about a complete brake overhaul. I figure if I'm gonna tackle a big break job I might as well convert it to 5 lug but after looking online I can not find any 5 lug conversions for '86 mustangs on '87 and up. I have to ask what the difference is between an '86 and '87 and if there are any kits specific to '86s.

Get in touch with MPS auto salvage out of Georgia. I got my front spindles from them for my '91 5 lug swap. If anyone knows of a way to do it on an '86 they will know.

Call them if you can.

Figured it would be similar to performing the swap on the '87-'93 Foxes - try checking out this site: http://vb.foureyedpride.com/showthread.php?t=39732

If you are going to convert, I would put the sn95 parts on. You can use the v6 parts, they are the same as a gt. Let's you use a wider selection of wheels. Much better setup. You can use 96-98, but they are 6mm wider.
