5 Bolt Hubs?

So I recently picked up an 83 RX7 which I plan to turn into a street monster.

Does anyone know if there is a 5 bolt Hub mod? Like something that will bolt on directly? If not, has anyone done some mods to make this happen?


I am interested in this so that I can "REALLY" upgrade the braking system (larger rotors, aggressive pads, and full floating calipers - Likely to be sourced from OEM equipment due to budget restraints - a 114.3mm 5 bolt pattern give me lots of options

Check out ReSpeed, they're one of the advertisers here and have the best brake upgrade setup.

as far as i know, you need the big bearing spindles, and the 2nd gen rotors/hubs go right on, and you need a respeed caliper bracket aka big brake kit to mount the 2nd gen calipers
