Got a chance to work on the project a little today. I'm in the home stretch of swapping my Fox body spindles for a set off of a 1995 Mustang GT on my MK1 Roadster. As with everything else it is more complicated that I expected it to be. For those who may have successfully accomplished this project I have a question. Since the strut mounting ear is about 1" lower on the SN95 spindles than the Fox ones did you use the lower holes on the FFR A arm?

A few of the 'things' I learned along the way. The Fox lower ball joints can be used but you have to add washers to the top because the shaft is longer than the 1994/95 versions. The tie rods will have to be adjusted out a good 1/2" on each side because the mounting hole is moved forward and outward compared to the earlier versions. Pigeon toed isn't a good look on the Roadster. Here are a couple of other pictures from the project.

Next up is converting the rear drums to Cobra discs with the adapter plates I got from North Race Cars and installing the new control arms and coil overs.
