You would be way better off looking on your local craigslist for these parts. SN-95 spindles, brakes and stuff work great for the low budget and are easy to come by. Keep in mind that they widen the track width by a bit though. Earlier cars widen less than later cars, not 100% sure on the years though.

I converted my 88 lx 5.0 to five lug by buying rotors for an 85 SVO mustang (the 4 banger turbos were 5 lug). Real simple. Raybestos part number 6009R according to Rockauto.

It all depends on what brakes you wish to run.
Just swaping the front rotor with new bearings will get the 5 lug swap done. This limits some wheel choices due to the bearing cap.
The 94-95 spindles will not change width but will need a spacer for the balljoint or change to 94-95 balljoint. With little mods you can fit the pbr and cobra brake systems. This again limits wheel choices.
You can do the brake lines a few ways as well. A simple adapter for the pass side for the factory lines or companies make braided lines with sn95 ends and fox threads.
I cant help with the 96 and up spindles.
