4 - 5 stud and brake conversion

[Ceffo]

Ok guys. I need the full liist of parts to change my POS brakes and four stud to a standard 5 stud. front and backs.

[inark]

ok from what i know...

HUBS

ROTORS

PADS

CALIPERS

im sure theres more than that... but thats pretty much the major parts.

you can listen to nark and blow a small fortune... OR... buy a set of 4 stud to 5 stud spacers. Then you go to any brake shop, pick up a blank holden commodore disc and give em the correct offset of your 4 stud hubs and get em to machine it for you. Calipers you can pick up from someone sellin em on the forum or spare parts shops.

If you're just after brakes you don't even need the stud converters.

You dont need to change your hubs to fit 5 stud rims or larger discs on.

why would u bother staying on 4 studs?

notice the title? 4 - 5 stud conversion

[Ceffo]

just japo had the whole conversion ofr like 1100bux but i missed out. Thi had the kitchen sink inc in that price. Now im hunting again.

BTW sopacersi have heard are not that safe. Esp from what i have exeprienced at high speed on the track. i.e they crack and u goneski.

[inark]

yeah dont listen to monkey he knows not what he speaks...

u'll learn that as u go along

[funkymonkey]

there's a slight difference between a regular spacer with holes in it and a spacer with 9 bolts coming out of it.

Also... what's wrong with 4 studs... you'd bother to stay on 4 studs if you could get just as good brakes. The only reason most people went up to five stud hubs is coz its easier to fit R33 GTSt brakes on. If you're after better braking power you don't have to go to five stud hubs to get it, just get blanks machined up to the right stud offset.

[inark]

bigger range of wheel choice for one...

most 4 stud rims are crap and hard to find... plsu most 2nd hand brakes available are also 5 stud...

[inark]

u would also have to assume monkey that 5 studs holding ur wheel on is a lot more reasuring than 4.

LOL so in your theory V8 Supercars are unsafe because they only have 1 stud? ROFL

Ok to go 5 stud up the front, the EASIEST way is to get an S14 Lower control arm with the Balljoint and carrier still attached. That bolts straight into Cefi and lines up perfect. You then need to attach your S13 coilovers, but they need slight mod to fit the bigger bolted S14 carrier. Then attach whatever rotor to the hub. I am personally unsure of how to do the rear, but Im considering doing just the front and buying some P1 wheels, 2 5 stud and 2 4 stud, but then again the P1s come in a suitable offset for Z brakes on 4 stud. Confused!

So are you saying that you have never seen a V8 Supercar or any other touring car that has lost a wheel?

[cefiro]

I have two moog ball joints (Saves you getting the S14 lower controll arm) a s14 caliper, s15 caliper( will bolt straight onto Spindle) two brake discs and both spindles, I have 1 hub from the left hand side, if you can get 2 hubs s14, left and right hubs would be best New.

the rear will need 300zx I think here is a link for you its good
