If i swap out my s4 n/a tranny drive shaft, diff and halfshafts, will it meet up with the hubs? or do i have to get the hub's and breaks too?

id say just swap out the tranny and driveshaft. it should only take a little modification to match up the driveshaft to the rear end if it doesnt bolt up exactly.

i set my 88t2 tranny and driveshaft up to my series 5 n/a rear end. only had to extend the bolt pattern outwards on the differential flange. just a little measuring and drilling and it matched up perfectly.

itl save you tons of hassle and money.

If everything is for an N/A, it will match right up.

The brake/wheel hubs will work.
But you have to have an all Turbo drivetrain (tranny, driveshaft, diff, halfshafts).
Or an all N/A drivetrain (auto tranny and auto driveshaft, or manual tranny and manual driveshaft), but the diff and halfshafts with N/A fit both auto and manual.

I think halfshafts should bolt up fine whether 4 lug or 5 lug, but I am not positive.
