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?

IMHO, this is just as "right" as a 911 setup.


Yup. It's all going to cost money though...

The reason I generally stick with 911 setups is they're fairly cost effective and pre-engineered.

I've seen others do all sorts of wild things with various calipers. Whatever floats your boat. James is right.
