How much work is it to convert over to 5 lug what is involved

 

 

1. Front and Rear 5-bolt hubs
2. Front and Rear Calipers
3. Front and Rear Rotors
4. Front and Rear Brake Lines
5. Front and Rear Brake Pads
6. Four 5 bolt rims with tires!

Replace pads and rotors

 

nope, you also need aftermarket softlines,and the original hardlines.the original softlines won't work

if the rotors and pads are in good condition theres no need to replace them,


i did the swap myself i know

 

THE brake booster is bigger on five lug cars. When i did my swap a also swapped that, not sure if the proportioning valve is setup any different but i swapped that too. it's a bit of labor but all easy work and well worth it. Your car will never stop the way it will with the five lug brakes

 

the brake booster for a four Lug is JUST FINE..it will work(did it THREE times.),you can always getthe bigger Booster later on..keep the Master Cylinder and proportioning valve the same.That works FINE too...I've done FIVE 4-5 Lug swaps in three years..it isn't that hard..Get the HUBS,SPINDLES,BRAKES,CALIPERS...you can't use the four lug brakes on Five lug Swap,the brackets won't clear the rotors..So..4 Pot Fronts,Single piston Rear..all Vented Rotors..you CAN use the Flex line from the four Lug and attach it Right to the 4 piston Caliper,(instead of using the small Steel line between the flex line and the Caliper).It's a little tricky to get on(twist the caliper and hold the Flex line,screw it on that way)....MORE INFO can be found by Searching Five lug Swap..good luck...oh you may want to replace the DTSS bushings(pain to do,but worth it) on the rear spindle assembly if you GO to Five lug.You may as well,you are there with the rear of the car apart!

 

4 lug booster make work but most people get their parts from a parts car and the booster wouldn't cost much more and its a really quick easy swap. your brakes can never be too good, good brakes win races more than good power, and for a street car they save lives. With good pads and crossdrilled and slotted rotors my rx-7 brakes so hard its scary, and thats good

 

kewl thanks guys now after i fix my motor i can do this but i might do all at once

 

Stock softlines from the turbo model work just fine. In fact, its just a N/A line halved. You definitely need the hardline though, or SS brake lines.
