Hubs I think not. You will probably have to convert it to a live axel setup then. The disks on your 98 are 11.8 or something like that. The 07's are a 12. IMO not really worth it to pay all that money and effort. You'll get beter braking form a quality rotor and pad. Also look into doing rear disks.

2wd Jeff...2wd.



I forsee a direct swap. The 01+ styles all have front ABS....but you aren't running it up front, so I assume it'll be a direct swap over. Bigger brakes ftw!



Although...it's not that much bigger....If I had a 2wd, I'd definately opt to do Cobra front brakes!

Blah, I didnt see anything in the sig. You know what they say about assumptions, they make an *** out of you and me.

Was I close in terms of the brake size difference?

hubs....do you mean 'spindle'? What the brakes bolt to. Is it a spindle kit along with coil-overs?


Rotor sizes...idk. I know 4wd's bumped up about an inch in rotor diameter from 02 to 03 discs.
