Man...this used to come up on Mustang forums all the damn time. People would buy big $$$ kits from Baer or SSBC when all you really had to do was steal the fronts off of a Lincoln and then get 2 Ranger passenger side axles (since Rangers have an offset differential and the passenger side axle is the right length) and hardware (or but some 5 lug rotors, calipers, etc. if you wanted). The big plus for Mustangs is wheel selection. Most of the popular styles are 5-lug only. People claim it also adds structural integrity, but I'll let you know when I see a wheel sheer all 4 lugs off in normal (or even hard) driving. So I guess people in both circles waste their money.
