When will your's be made? Pics? What material and thickness will they be? Any idea of the wheels offset requirements to use your adapters?

trochoid 10-10-06 05:47 PM

sorry im confused, wut do we want 5 hole to 4 hole or 4 hole to 5 hole?

wuts the idff from spacer and adapter?

4*110 is a very hard bolt pattern to find wheels that look half decent in my opinion anyway...if you went to the 5*114.3 wheel pattern you will quickly find that every wheel manufacturer makes wheels in this pattern...which is why if you want fancier looking wheels you get adaptors to change the bolt pattern...I know your looking for wheel adaptors I would recommend cpracing for quality...however if you want to get them sooner than 6 months down the road find someone else...but I have the cpracing adaptors and they are solid and well manufactured

rotarycrazy 10-11-06 12:49 AM

well the reason why I need just 2 of them becouse I am converting to 4 piston brakes in the front and will be puting some BBS vert wheels on it with some 205 and 225 tires for grip this is going to be my everyday driver but I take it out to the mountains a lot and I hate how quickly the stock brakes overheat in 1st gens and the traction I am most woried about understeer down hill almoust wrecked a couple times that was not fun so I am trying to prewent that from hapening. I will be puting my other 12A sp with a dellorto DHLA48 carb in the car I think its going to be preaty fun little car and once that gets to be boring I think I will slap a T04B on it.

I have seen them from CP Racing. You will need to contact them for availability.

NOT. They have the worst customer service of any of the 7 vendors. Since your new, search for the service/shipping problems other members have had with them. I have bought from them, never again.

I got a set from BOMEX it was about $340.00 for the set and I havent had any problems but i did have to use a dremel to make the indention over the phillips head screws on the rotors bigger so the adapters could fit flush.

13BT_RX3 10-14-06 12:11 PM

Does CP make unsafe products or do they just have poor customer service?

That type of adapter is a bad idea anyway. 4 lug to 5 lug of the same circle is OK and changing circles with the same number of lugs is OK, but not both.

You have 2nd gen stuff for the front already. I believe that most kits retain the need for ~18mm offset like a stock 1st gen (non SE). You will likely need offset correcting spacers in the front as well as longer studs. Studs for a Chevy like these will work (ARP 100-7713). Shorter ones are available.

My top three choice for changing the lugs in the rear.

1. Custom axles Moser Engineering @ 260-726-6689 for $295/pr. Ask for a dual pattern of 4x4.5" and 5X4.5" sharing a lug. You will need to drill the rotor to match. Offset cannot be change unless you space out the brake caliper accordingly. May need offset correcting spacers. Check this link out for lots of info on the axles and the variables.

2. Use a GSL-SE rearend and drill the axles and rotor for a dual pattern. I was quoted $80 for this by www.rearendspecialties.com, but they are in Santa Clara CA. Offset correcting spacers may be required.

3. Use 4x4.5 all around the car. Use 2nd gen 4 lug hubs in front. Use an adapting spacer to go from 4x110mm to 4x4.5". A 1" spacer puts you at ~43mm offset. Use an offset correcting spacer in the front. The only problem with this besides the fact that 4 lugs ar not as cool as 5 lugs is that the SE rotors are smaller. To use the 5 lug rotors you will need to drill a dual pattern in it and run a 4mm spacer behind the rotor. You will also need to run wheels that fit rare cars like an Infinity G20.

What about swaping rotors? Possibly from a fc? or some other car?

Dan_s_young 12-16-06 11:54 PM

The inner bearings don't fit on the spindle without an adaptor. REspeed has the TII big brake kit for the first gen that comes with the adapter and a 4 pot caliper brackets. Awesome quality and Billy is a awesome guy to deal with!

buy the respeed front and rear kit and be done with it. period. its the best way to go.
