[QUOTE="shovel, post: 1552527, member: 29855"] You need the lower control arms from the donor New Edge (or aftermarket arms made for a New Edge). And you'll need to correct your speedo for the gear ratio, your 94 would probably have 2.73 or 3.08 gears and other than Mach 1's all new edge solid axles were 3.27 so that's a 20% ratio change from 2.73 or a 6% change from 3.08 . If your car is manual trans the new speedo gear is around 20 bucks and takes 10 minutes to install, I suspect the same is true for auto but I don't know it for certain. If you want to you can also get a set of quad shock brackets & quad shocks since the new axle will have tabs for those. Optional not necessary. Everything else just goes together like it was meant to be. Here's how the wheel fitment looks on my recently sold 96 V6 with a 2003 new edge 8.8 and stock cobra 17's (car on the left) [ATTACH type="full"]38276[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
