Is It A Must To Upgrade To 5 Stud For Turboing?

[sshhorty]

want to get my car ready to turbo it and i was wondering if it is a must to get a 5 stud convertion?

could i just get slotted rotors and bigger pads?

Its worth doing just for better wheel choice imo... dont think you will snap the studs off if it's just a stock turbo.

5 stud conversions only give u more choice for up grades or wheels as mentioned

bigger discs are only needed if you are over heating your current break discs, if you want to up grade your breaks look into the calipers or get better quality break pads

As above, wheel choice and brake upgrades.

Depending on your application you may not need a brake upgrade.

If your gna track it then yes, more stopping power, run bigger tyres. If just for street then not really. Personally I would though. Looks better and its ALOT easier finding wheels with a good offset.

If you can get an adapter and fit bigger brakes to it then i think thats ok to stay four stud...

bigger pads aren't going to do much, its the clamping power thats going to make the real difference.

Changing surfaces to something with more friction like slotted rotors is a good start, but you really need to get the gtst brakes on there.... easiest way to do that is with a 5 stud conversion all at once

hey man in my opinion its really not worth it, it you did the 5 studed version

you can get a bigger wheel choice, if you didn't you still can get slotted disc

form a seller from sau and just get some gtst front brakes and some good

brake pads thats all i'm doing..
