If my car will be pushing 200+ HP will I encounter problems with the stock 4-lug set up?

 

No.

Is the 5-lug swap just for looks then?

 

5 lug swap has better brakes..bigger rotor, better calipers, brake booster...etc..

 

How much (ballpark) would it cost to do a complete 5-lug swap on a 93 DX?

 

i know people putting down over 500 and there useing 4 lug with no issue

 

depending where u get 5 usually run 1000-1300 with rims &tires

but its not worth it just upgrade your brke rotors pads and lines.

 

Almost all drag racers use 4 lug setups because of the options for drag rims and the typical difference in weight. Not to mention when most people go 5 lug, the breaks are upgraded and most do not fit under 13"s rims which seem to be the rim of choice for drag racing. I use drag racing loosely in showing that people with 500, 600, 700+whp run 4 lug.

 

Thanks for the info guys.
