Hey thanks again for the great write up.
I already broke out the rear seal in anticipation of doing this so i would be able to reuse it. Did you have a problem with the original setup? im thinking of still doing it that way since the shims and washers are more readily available than extra lock washers and seals. but if theres an inherent problem with the first method i might have to find those parts. let me know.
thanks!

The first set up wasnt road tested i road tested the set up the second way! If you want you can so it the first way and tell everyone how it goes, but id recommend doing it the second way since you will have some sort of seal!!

well more or less, i meant to say how ghetto this shit is... but whatever, folks always want cheap. i mean thats the whole point of this thread.

my gripe is, if you're going to put a spacer, dont use a fucking washer. machine something specific for this application. i wouldnt feel comfortable using washer-spacer technology on my wheel hubs, but thats just me.

any update for s13? i have j30 hubs waiting to get swapped. im searching more about this hoping i can find another info to use it for 5 lug swap without doing extensive work like that.

did you not catch this link?

Cheap/Safe/Easy S13 5lug front hub conversion. - Hardtuned.net

I dont mean to dip up a dead thread..
But i wanted to wait before i chimed in on the verdict.
i did this swap (the original posted moethod without the rear seal) over a month ago and have since put several thousand miles on my car with this setup. works great, no problems, no abnormal road noise and my wheels havent fallen off so im happy.
cost me 70 bucks all together
50 for the hubs (bought them almost a year ago for an s13 but never used them)
20 for the washers and shims off the site provided.

thanks for the write up.

If you have a "FASTENEL" nuts and bolts store near you, they have the washer in the first method for like $1.50 A PIECE

any reason you can't just not spacer the hub and run extra spacers to move the caliper further in?

edit: I'm a retard, that would space it the other way

Will need this soon!
