Ok, S13 Fastback...

I bought 4-Lug Brembo cross drilled rotors with Axxis Metal Master pads for the front and rear. Now I'm doing a widebody and definetly need 5-lug to use tank size wheels. I just got a set of 96 SE wheels from a friend as temporaries until I get some wider ones.

The 5 lug conversion is in the works... :coold:
But, I haven't decided which hubs to use (S14, Z32, etc.)

Is there a way to utilize the F&R set of pads and rotors with the 5-Lug?

I know I can just redrill the rotors to fit, but how about the pads?
Is there a way for those to fit on 5lug calipers? And which calipers do they fit?

If there's no hope for the pads, I'll eBay them or post em up for sale here...

Oh yea, I also got Goodridge Brake Lines. Is there any way to utilize those without having to sell?

Basically I'm looking to see what 5lug brake setup/complete 5lug conversion, would be able to use my parts that I already bought for the stock 4 lug...

Um, just use the same calipers. :w00t:

Yep, then find yourself a 5-lug rotor, line up a hole on it with the 4-lug rotors, and drill out the other four holes...

I was thinking of that at work. I'm prolly gunna buy a single 5x114.3 rotor at AutoZone and use it for a guide.

I'm just gunna get the SE 5-Lug hubs and I'll just use my current brake setup. Screw the new calipers, they can wait.

Thanx guys...
