OK so I have the 2.4 6 ready to go. Now I need to think about whether I go with 5 lug conversion. I know trekkor has done fine with 4 lug on his six. I will likely just use the car for AX and occasional TT event.
I like the idea of keeping my lightweight 4 lug setup which would include my 8" wheels. But should I just bite the bullet and go with 5 lug for better brakes etc? |

I'd say it's up to:
A - How much HP you plan on squeezing out of the 2.4 (determines if you should look for a 3.5" spaced 911 strut with the larger brake selection) -and- B - How much you want to spend. Either way, it's not real cheap but ClubHubs and M-Calipers would be the most cost effective...new wheels and tires can cost ya. I'd say that package would be good up to around 140hp before I would consider moving on (because of the brakes not the studs) -and- C - If you're happy with the current 4-lugs out there. |
