yes you read right, im thinking of switching to 4 lugs, cuz i might be able to trade my rims for the rims i want, let me know, thx

 

Smaller brakes

 

what'll that do?

 

Not be able to slow you down as well.

 

how much of a difference?

 

Not a noticeable difference.

The SE's were the lightest FC's. They had lighter brakes, but the car also curbed significantly less. I never once had a problem getting my SE to stop.

 

so overall, any good reason not to?

 

yeah, why downgrade you coon? thats like. saying... hey, ive got 4 *********, but only need one sperm to get a girl pregnant, so i can do away with the other. WRONG!!!

 

to switch from 5 lug to 4? There's LOTS of reasons not to, and not any reason to actually do it. You'd be better off getting wheels to fit your car as is. If you want 4-lugs hubs, go trade the car for an SE.

that has to be the stupidest analogy I've ever seen made...

 

but if theres no real diff, then its a good deal to switch em AND get the rims i want

 

so what do they break? or are they harder to work with, or do the brakes not stop you good?

 

not really, an upgraded 4 lug will work just as well.....ss brake lines, hawk pads. only thing that'll suck is on hard braking; you'll feel brake fading sooner than the 5 lug.

 

it sounds like you dotn actually care about performance, just looks. If so then do a 4lug swap, but you will be loseing alot of brakeing power. It is alot of working doing a full 4-5lug swap, are you willing to do it just over a "nice" set of wheels?

 

but if i upgrade the brakes themselves, then it would be fine, and a wheels for wheels trade including the hubs, would be a good deal. idk, ill keep looking around, thx everyone

 

You know a 5-lug swap includes more than just the hubs, right?

 

Most wheels can be found in any pattern or lug if you look. Plus losing BIGGER brakes just isn't a good idea.

 

That's just stupid.

These better be $2k+ value rims to have switching worth it.

 

well im upgrading to a 5 lug so if u really want i can sell u my 4 lug stuff.. but i still think thats a bad idea. stoping distance will be longer, in all honisty less tire and rim options, and rims can generaly be milled to fit your 5 lug if you need the rims that bad.

 

wow, you're an idiot. youre like saying i have a big dick, now i want a smaller one.

 

This is some of the gayest crap I ever heard. Especially to the guy that was talking about 4 testes.

 

take two steps back. now take one step foward. are you better or worse off?

just save up more and buy five lug wheels.

 

the downside is the pain in the *** swap. Plus the money spent on getting new brake pads and fluid. Then you gotta repack your bearings and you need grease for that. Resurfacing the rotors so your new pads don't get junked. Disconnecting your half-shafts and trying not to junk your hub nut hammering it out.

Or you could just half-*** it, because all you want are different rims on your car in the first place.

 

stupidest thread ever, why the hell would anyone want to give up the good brakes, function over from, if thats how your thinking, maybe you should sell the 7 and buy a civic they come in 4 lug

 

Stupidest thread I've ever seen...on any board.

 

haha, definitely agree with everyone. its always an upgrade...evolution...the next thing up, not the other way.
