XAT racing 5 lug adapters?

[ripnbst]

Why do so many people use the Z32 hardware when these are offered to convert to 5 lug? Are the adapters weak and break easily or something? Are they difficult to put on? I am thinking of going 5 lug and saw the adapters on XAT's website and was wondering if it would be easier than messing around with Z32 bottom susp mounts and trying to get compatible parts. Someone using these or knows about them chime in plz. Thanks in advance.

That's the way I did it... Except I used the Circuit Sports kit. A couple others I know used the S5 kit. I haven't actually heard of the XAT kit until now, but it;'s prolly the same stuff as the rest and won't leave you disappointed. The CS kit is cool, but it only came with the front bearings, which set me back another couple hundred, but it hhas the longer lug studs for more spacer options. Ebay actually has a great selection of plug-n-play 5 lug kits for S13's.

?? You only swap to Z32 uprights to save weight, there is no 'messing around' otherwise. The rear Z32 NA hub is no different in installation that an aftermarket one would be, seems like you don't really know what you're talking about.

^ is right just buy a 300zx rear hub 120 for the pair and rotors and you shouldnt pay more than that for rear. and i will sell you my front s14 set up for 350 plus your old spindle/hub/bolts. i will send you everything needed and istalled already, even the lower control arm. bolt it in and it takes like 20 minutes a side with my setup.
