I guess I've got to be the one to ask though, why?


Cause the machinist did'em for free (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) with everything you say but... a "few" others will constantly bitch and whine. So, the real reason? This allows the studs to be offset the same distance off the backside of the hub. Otherwise you would either have to grind down the only boss used or have 4 studs about 1/4" longer than the 5th. They probably don't even have to be TIG'd on there.

Regarding price. I'm looking at offering a complete 5-Lug system with control arms for $425.00-$450.00. That includes:

Bead blasted, refinished control arms
New Bushings
New Bearings and,
These 5-Lug hubs

You've sold these type of things before... they can either add this stuff up and figure it out or not. If not, they can do it themselves and save the dough. It really doesn't matter to me.

Thanks for the comments. I agree 100%
