 What's involved in a 5 lug conversion?, What do the kits offer vs. what's needed? |

on the surface it just seems that the rotors need to be drilled for the 5 lug studs...what am I missing?

Check the classic threads section.
http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?act=SF&s=&f=5 You can just drill the hubs, but its not the recommended way. I'm running 911 rear hubs and rotors with Swayaway axles. In the front I am just running 911 3.5" struts. I then used Boxster adapters to use Boxster brakes front and rear. I am also using a 911 parking brake. Drilling the hubs is not as strong as using the stock 911 components. I also don't think its supported for track events, but I could be wrong. |
