94 was return of 5 lug wheels.

Yeah, crazy as it sounds all Fox cars were 4lug.  They can be converted to 5 lug pretty easily with commonly available parts. 

Inspect the front shock towers closely.  That's where they rust.  If the heater core is bypassed, it probably has a bad heater core, and a rusty pass side floor pan.  Look at the rear torque boxes too.  That's where the evidence of hard driven 5 speed cars show their wear.

The primary reason guys swap to 5 lug is to get a wider variety of wheel upgrades.  You are almost limited to Weld Drag Lites or Drag Stars with the 4 lugs. (unless you are like me and dig the Pony wheels.)

I find them to be fun cars that the Mrs. loves to drive, too.

Wheel wise it depends on what you want.  I'd advise checking LMR, etc. before committing to a 5 lug swap to get better wheel selection.  I thought that initially too, but found some styles of wheel were actually harder or impossible to find in 5 lug. 

On the brakes, the fronts aren't the issue; its the rear drums.  However, IMO if you are going to upgrade to 5 lug anyway to convert to '94-'03 Cobra brakes is pretty straightforward.  That's what I did on my '89 GT.
