Hubs

How expensive and how hard is it to fit 5 stud hubs to a 4 stud 8g 2.0l GLS?:inquisiti

its either going to be very expensive or too much hassle.

is it just for alloys? cant think of any other worthwhie benefits to moving to a 5stub hub....

Replacement front hubs are about £180 each, i think you "may" have to replace the hub carriers too. Personally i cant see the benfit of changing for the sake of an extra wheelnut to undo!

they vr4 brakes are bigger, and you could have the option of getting brembos...

im gonna be doing the 4-5 stud thing once i get my car back...

im doing it for the bigger brakes and more wheel options..

ill be buying hubs brakes and carriers,
i should be able to get them cheap enough
(legnums and galants are far more common here) and theres always someone wreaking one

ill do the work myself to keep costs down

one of the posts mentioned a different bell compatible with 4 stud

//I will test the brakes as soon as possible and give some sort of feedback. I have also done some research and found that the kit will fit 7g VR4's aswell and also UK Galants with a 4 stud bell as the hub carriers are the same as pre-facelift VR4's.:2thumbsup??

If you have got bigger wheels than standard GLS this may be a less messy way to go......

Have a word with Marcus about compatabily /cost
