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? |

For Autox, your stock brakes are fine. But for the track, I'd want better brakes for that bigger motor. People convert to 5 lug for 3 reasons: wheels, rotors, and calipers. Since you've invested in wheels already, I'd just go with the machined hubs that will let you run vented rotors and 911 calipers. Demick |
