 Should I even be doing AutoX with a PMB 5 lug conversion? |

I do.
You're not talking the drilled front rotors Eric did years ago right? |

Are you using 911 struts? Shouldn't be a problem with 911 struts. Thats what I use. I also drilled my own rear hubs and rotors on a mill. Works great.

No 911 struts.
These are std 914 drilled and I believe the studs are pressed in from rear. Both front and rear are done the same way. |

Im sure its plenty strong. I highly doubt Eric would sell a product that isnt up to task.

QUOTE(wndsnd @ Aug 12 2014, 09:06 PM)  Kind of late to be asking this question. I've been running rear drilled 5 stud rotors for a couple of years now doing 10 to 12 AXs a year. I did tack weld them on the inside just so they stay in place, when they loosened up a bit when I forgot to torque the nuts down once. If you do that, just make sure the wheels are on and tight before you tack them in place, so the studs are are straight. |
