i can only imagine...ive been trying to find one but might just settle for a BYS...im getting my recaros wednesday after months of waiting for them to come over on the boat (dc5 blue) now i just cant decide if going 5 lug is worth it...

5-lug is worth it if you can get it for a good price. the braking difference is there over stock 4-lug brakes, however, you can just get a really aggressive set of pads and rotors and get similar braking and retain your 4-lug.

5-lug = bling bling

btw - i was about to buy a BYS lip as well, but the price scares me and i find them a bit too 'plain' in my opinion..but they are nice!

it all depends on what wheels you run. however, if you run a spacer larger than 5mm, i'd recommend extended studs as well just to be safe.

and depending what rotor you use, you may need a spacer behind the rotor to center the rotor between the spoon caliper. i tried to use the Spoon calipers on my 4-lug and 15" TE37s, but i gave up and went 5-lug instead. straight bolt on with stock ITR wheels.

^haha thats my identical situation...te37s 4 lug wrong offset so i would need a 6 mm spacer and 3mm behind the top hat...im just not down for that, i have extended studs but adding that much weight that far out away from the hub is just asking for problems IMO..plus i track my car i could see bad things happening...so 5 lug with ctr's are going to be my direction...I HAVE VOLKS FOR SALE hhaha

lol, yah man, been there, done that, gave up and went 5-lug instead

i had the 15x6.5" TE's with a 45 offset. i would've needed a huge spacer to make it work and it just wasn't worth it in the end. however, my local shop does sell rotors that actually work with the 4-lug setup and doesn't require spacers from behind to center them if you're interested (11" rotors).

nice! at least you'll have the CTR's with the H-caps instead of my winter wheels with the 'A' caps

i had to buy a set of H-caps for my gunmetal ITR wheels, but it was worth it in the end.

you getting a MC and BB upgrade to go with the 5-lug?

Whiteslips:

Hopefully you've found another glass or latch by now. I've been asking other people but the only extra one I have is completely naked.

5 lug is incredibly overrated, from a functional point of view.
