well do you have any concerns about the rear brakes right now if not id just drop some arp studs in and leave 4 lug pattern if you already have rims but if you have some 5 lug rims 5x114.3 then do it if you want but front id do it if i needed the 4 pot brakes so its just a matter of what do you have what do you need and in your oppinion is it worth it would you have decient braking to start with using 4 lug or would you want to have better what about shape of rotors and pads

in short do you have time? do you have 5 lug rims? what shape are the rotors and pads in? do you just keep snaping studs?

The 5 lugs, some, had rear vented brakes. Also, a way bigger variety of rims to choose from.

true unless you like 4 lug rims. Vented to solid how much of a difference have you noticed in the rear brakes? i cant complain of using a slotted and drilled rear rotor that isn't vented on mine.
