Default 5-Lug Conversion

im looking to get a 5 lug conversion on my EG, i know i need the whole front hub, front LCA's, front sway bar, and hardware, the rear LCA's and sway bar, and the rear Hub
my question is is there any thing else i need to get this conversion, thanks in advance

also im fully aware about the ongoing debate about how getting the conversion is for show, but i really dont care, i'm getting them because i hate my rear drums and front brakes, which are oem.

as far as the front, knuckle along with rotor and caliper is the minimum you can get away with.

rear requires complete again hub/along with rotor caliper, ebrake cables and brake lines minimum - but personally I would try to get complete trailing arm as it has new bushing and is much cleaner.

conversion is no different then doing GSR/LS brake swap

basically you would want the complete front knuckle *dont need lca as you can use your stock ones.

Complete rear trailing arms with ebrake cables *again you can use your Lca unless you want to change to itr shocks as well.

you can use GSR lower control arms with the ITR rear sway bar and not have to buy new shocks

Suppose that you already have a gsr upgrade, how much more would you need to go up to 5 lug?

Sorry to jack thread, but the thought of gunmetal itr wheels on my car puts a smile on my face.

it depends on how you look at it...the brakes are well worth it, but it will boil down too how you drive, what racing if any you do, and if you just want the JDM BLING.....
