4 to 5 lug conversion
I'm very interested in converting my current 4 lug setup to 5 lug....I've used the search option and found out I'de need to replace the rotors, hubs and calipers.....
Then i read a bit more and found out the front brake lines would also need to be changed, it turns out the rears on the same for both....
My question is would i also need to convert over to the 5 lug brake booster etc......
Can someone supply me with a complete parts list for this conversion.....attention to detail would be greatly appreciated......
Thanks
Damien

You've already got the complete parts list in your post. Aside from wheels, you don't NEED anything more. If I had the cash right now, I'd be doing SS brake lines too, but I gotta keep a budget so I can spend some money in Buenos Aires and Capetown.

Banned. I got OWNED!!!
BTW< I have 3 5 lug conversions available with various miles, $150 each, bolt em on and go, everything included except wheels, whcih are also available, but not worth shipping due to cost(more than the wheels).

i did that conversion last summer between my running '86 SE and my now-gone '88 GXL. the swap was quick, easy (except for one really rusted bolt), and extremely cheap. my braking improved noticably after that and all was good in the world of stopping.

I also did the swap a couple months back. At the same time I replaced the DTSS bushings and went with SS brake lines. Also now am running KVR cross drilled rotors. Big difference in braking (and handling). Id definetly recommend this.
