Default 5 Lug conversion on a EK

I'm sure this has been posted before but I didn't see any other posts. I'm about to buy a CTR 5 lug conversion and I was wondering how involved the installation is. And if there is any site I can go to for help, I'm sure I can figure out the suspension part it. It's more the running the rear brake lines, e-brake, proportioning valve and master cylinder. Anything will help, thanks

Believe me when I tell you this... It's pretty straight forward. Just buy the SI brake lines and prop valve and your set. Everything bolts straight on, the most tideous part of it all was installing the prop valve.

And make sure you read the L and the R on the calipers, they do bolt on backwards and thats what kept my car out of commission for like a month and a half. Make sure you have 2 bottles of dot3 brake fluid just in case. It's perfectly ok to recycle the fluid once you crack the bleeder, just get a small hose to put on the valve and lead it back in to the bottle.

Let me know if you need some help

Yeah, it's not hard, just a bit tedious. I did mine all by myself last year at the age of 17.
