4 / 5 lug conversion questions
Anyone done the S4 4 lug conversion to a GSL-SE and ran the larger 4 piston caliper like on the TII?
I have done some searching but only found 5 lug info.
I am think this route so I can keep the stock gsl-se lug pattern but be able to upgrade to the larger 4 piston calipers.

Yes i did it, just re-drill the 5 lug front rotors to 4X114.3, and get the 2nd gen 4lug hubs. and you need longer wheel studs, ARP #100-7708 Late model GM 12mm X 1.50" from Summit Racing will work.

Interesting...... so all you did was buy s5 cross drilled hubs and redrilled them to the se bolt pattern? What bearings are you useing and what spindle?

has any one else done a 4 piston swap?
I dont care for the 5 lug swap,just the bigger rotors and 4 piston calipers.
Any pics?
Will the GSL SE brake master work?
How about the proportion valve?
What do they mean by bigger bearing front brakes,the GSL SE set up?
