Respeed 5 lug swap question

I was searching through the forum, and I found a post by Duct tape, saying that he got a kit from respeed to swap a 5 lug on to his SE. I was just wondering if that kit was still around, I checked out billys site but I couldnt find anything.

I have a chance to snag up some Mint FD wheels with dot slicks wrapped on them for FREE! I was just wondering if with the 5 lug kit I would be able to use them on my SE, for when I go to the track.

this is what your looking for. The big brake kit allows you to put 2nd gen rotors on the front..

Matt,

Those are the links to the brake kits that will make it work but......

The FD wheels have way to much offset to run on the first gen. Most guys need a 1" spacer to use our kit with FC wheels, the FD wheels have an even greater offset than the FC wheels do.

FB/SA guys need a 1" spacer to run FC wheels

FC guys need a 1" spacer to run FD wheels

so, put that together and youll need a 2" spacer to run FD wheels. it sucks, trust me. i wanted to do the same thing.

what size are those slicks? i might be able to slap them on my SA
