They are the same width.

Not sure about the ABS if you're wanting to keep it.  You gonna use the SN-95 brakes?

You may have to do some fiddling with the brake lines between the axle and the body depending on what year SN-95 you use.

The axle will bolt directly into the car w/o mods, it's the ancilliary stuff that will cause issues.

-yeah, wanted to keep abs, use the sn-95 brakes.  seems easier to swap whole axle assy for 5 lug conv., than to change axles, rotors, etc.  i know they are not vented, and may have to find correct hoses, but other than that, what else????
