So for $550 I will upgrade everything. If I went to 5 lug I could subtract about 130 from that total of new parts.

Freaking gorgeous pieces from ECE. can't wait to get my spindles. The extra benefit is that they are 12" rotors, not the 10" found in some of the kits. Massive freaking rotors.

I'll post pics of the upgrade when I have all the parts.

sounds good but already bought spindel for 70-87
and i have an assit power steering. which i dont really need to upgrade
that front 84 clip i have need to be overhauled i need to buy every for it
