So i have a 4 lug that i wish to convert to a 5 lug...but I am having a difficult time trying to find a write-up for this. The only ones I have found involved a dead link and aaroncake's "How to install 4 piston brakes on a 4 lug".

I imagine the complexity of this will not be too severe, so I am not worried about that. What I am concerned about are the parts required. I need to basically do this in a day or two because it is my daily, and before I begin I must gather all of the neccesary parts.

Oh, and the only suspension upgrade I have done so far are some Megan Racing Track Coilovers (that really should not affect anything but just throwing that out there in case).

This is what I think i need so far (please tell me if I am missing something).
1. 4 piston calipers (with pads obvi)
2. 4 piston rotors.
3. The 5 lug hubs.
4. 5 lug spindles? I read that you only need them for the rear, but please correct me if I am wrong.

Anyways, this is what i came up with just from my researching, but it is most likely missing something.

Thanks for reading and feed back is appreciated!

You can get away with using the 4 lug spindles up front.Just put on the 5 lug hub,4 piston caliper.
just "massage" the dust shields..(they may rub,but if you bend them a touch they do work.)
..Did it got the Tshirt.

You also need brake hoses, rear calipers, rotors.

Keep in mind, the rear has 2 brake options... Solid rotor, and vented rotor. Those parts dont interchange.

Alright thanks guys. This has all been very helpful. Ill definately remember the hoses and vented vs. nonvented.

Ordered the spindles/knuckles from rotary resurrection last night.
