hi. so my plan is to switch my hubs over so i can get the 5 bolt set up. i have the hub assembly and breaks already. and it came with the rear diff subframe. so is there anything i need other than that stuff for it to go together? and i want to get new wheels aswell, so are the 5 bolt hubs wider or anything than the 4 bolt hubs?

The front is easy.
you can just change the bearing hub assembly and caliper.The shields just need a 'little finesse".Trust me,I just did this without changing the spindle on the front.(4 bolt to 5 bolt).The Flex lines of the 4 bolt will screw into the Four piston brakes but it is always nice to do it right and get the Flex line and small piece of steel line that attaches to the Caliper..I mean it is a Safety factor,Right?
The backs..hmm.
well if you can get the spindle/hub assembly off without Killing the Toe Bushing,then you can just swap out.
I did it a little different,as I got the whole 5 bolt subframe,and just opted to pull the 4 bolt subframe.
I didn't want to deal with Toe Bushings,DTSS or replacing bushings,etc.
The 5 lug brake calipers are vented,so a little thicker and "taller".So you need the 5lug brakes or they will not fit the rotor.the Rotor will just hit the inside of the bracket.

ok. sounds easy enough. i have the 5 bolt subframe with everything already, its just not in the car. id like to eliminate the dtss and put some better bushings in at the same time. how hard is it to do the bushings and dtss when its out of the car? and do you know if the hubs are different in size. i need wheels for the bigger brakes but i just need to know with the 4 bolt still in car if it will mess up the offset i need for fitment? any clue? and do you know if there is any difference between the s4 na subframe and s5 turbo subframe
