Hey guys, I'm looking into purchasing an 180sx VLSD, it say it's an 5 Bolt. I'm not sure if that means I'm going to need 5 lug conversion for it. But I've got 4 lug right now, or if anybody has any suggestions on LSD's for an 89 s13. any help is appreciated.

thanks!

no sir u dont need to upgrade on it..it just the axles on it..some have 5 and some have 6. if you look under ur car where ur diff is at u can see if its 5 or 6. if your 6 then u need to get 5 bolt axles..

To reiterate what he said and to relieve your concern

The 5 bolt axle that connects the hub to the differential has little to do with the lugs/bolts. As long as the splines line up, the axles line up along with the hub splines, you should be fine (assuming that you have the correct axles for the differential).
