same as you would with gsr brakes. front hub/spindle and rear trailing arm, mc/bb and prop valve.

2.) How is it done?
search in one of those stickys for a How-To

3.) I put $750 into a tein basic damper system if I switch to this 5 lug set up will I not be able to use that anymore?
yes you can keep those coilover, but youll need to use the rear lca that you have on it now.

4.) what are the benifits and what other problems could occur?
benefits is better brakeing, and the only problem i see is, you are about to drop about $3500+- just so you can have the wheels you want. hey if you got the bread for it, to you.

let me know guys please bc I am ready for some volks!</TD></TR></TABLE>
