5 lug conversion question
 
I have an 89 coupe which I want to buy 17-9 bullets for which only come in 5 lug patterns. What's the cheapest & easiest way about doing this? Thanx.

All you really have to do on the front is change to the '85 SVO rotors...they are 5 lug and work perfectly with the stock spindles and calipers...

I have done both in the past

and the M2300K:

One works a weeee bit better than the other. :D

Darius: What's the minimum wheel size with the M2300K kit? 17"?

Thanks,

Yes, 17.
Baer makes a 12" front rotor that allows for 16" wheels, but the cost is nearly the same as M2300K and the brakes are not as good as M2300K. If you got MORE money, look into the Brembo catalog... Drool.
(Oh I know there exists some rare 16" wheel somewhere, that someone one found to fit, but 99% of the time its 17").
