to all of you that have the 5 lug conv how hard is it to change it to a 5 lug pattern? how much money and work is involved? was it worth it?thanks a lot i couldnt find what i wanted in the search

 

Depends. If you're just going to use adapters, then pretty easy.

If You're going to use a CP Racing kit (for TII brakes) you're gonna need about a 1" spacer in the front to clear the calipers.

The Rear can just be re-drilled, or adapters, or custom.

 

have u checked out the group buy section? theres a kit similar to the cp kit as mentiond by directfreak.

what is your experience with adaptors? Do they work and are they safe? I saw alot of these when I was searching for 4x110 wheels.

 

I've never used the CP adaptors, but overall their quality is good. I have the Strut bar, brake kit, R&P steering kit, and a few other peices of work, and can only say I've had no reason to complain.

I was going to buy spacers from www.wheeladaper.com, but don't need them anymore. I would still reccomend "Fearless" Fred unconditionally tho

 

Does anyone know CP Racing's web address..?

 

www.cpracing.ca

I love'em, but they're really busy right now, so if you're in a rush, make sure you let them know.

Chris is the boss there, and he's pretty helpful...

 

Cpracing Sucks!!!!!!!!!

 

My steering is A MESS. I'm thinking of getting their rack/pinion kit...? Besides their slow send on parts, I've also heard that everyone eventually receives their order if they're patient or am I wrong...?? Anything else I should be aware of before dropping $600..???

Thanks...

 

That's just your opinion.

I've been a customer of CP's for year, and I've NEVER had a complaint, other than the occasional wait.

They won't rip you off, although they are busy. They've also just moved into a new (much better) shop. It should help with some of the backlogs.

The biggest complaint I can make about the kit is that it retains the stock turning radius, lock-to-lock. Other than that, there is no slop/play in the wheel AT ALL, and MUCH bette feedback from the road. You can take corners with confidence that the wheels will point whee you want them to.
