87 4 lug swap to 5 lug?
 
Hey guys, I'm looking at getting a base model 87 for really cheap so I was wondering am I able to swap out the 4 lugs for 5 lugs using parts from a 5 lug Rx7? And what do I need?
Thanks,
Eric

Yes...And search. This is a very common topic. Might even be in the FAQ/Archives.

it's fairly easy to do but use the brake booster off the five lug model, it's larger an is looked over by many people doing the swap

I've been searching for a while now and I've noticed a pattern, there are many threads about this topic but everyone has the same response......search!
Anyway, I know I need the complete spindles with the calipers, pads n rotors, I've heard you can do the swap with just that, but I also heard as you said.. the booster, is there anything else? I heard the swap can be done without the booster, but if it's better to use it then i'd rather just do it the right way. Is it hard to swap the booster? I've swapped rotors, calipers, and pads before but haven't done the booster. I heard there is a write up on nopistons.com anyone have a link?
Thanks

you need the 5 lug brake lines.

I read you only needed the one piece that connects from the caliper itself.

thats what i meant. i was being vague, sorry. racing beat sells quality ones but theyre pricey. im sure you could just get them from wherever you plan on getting the other stuff.
