Shane has done it on The Sedan/Coupe AWD track beast, it also beeing covered before extensively on Evocoupe.net fronts are the easiest and the back all depends on what rear brake set up your going with stock CE9A? or later evo brembo and drum hand brake going with the stock gsr rear brakes and converting to the five stud is less work & $

Theres different ways of doing it,
the first of which involves redrilling hubs which is the easy way out but controversial.
The second involves getting 5 stud hubs pressed in, which are fairly difficult to get.
But try a search, quite a bit of info.

Magna hubs for the front, even easier, and cheaper
Never heard of the RVR rears, how easy is easy? lol

how much of a benefit is there doing the 5 stud conversion??
or is it more a case of being able to get brembos for them?

its more of the case of it being uber cool..

plus there are more wheel choices as 5x114 is very common jap wheels.

If your doing a GSR up ur up for..

2 x Front rotors in 5 stud $150
2 x front caliper twin pots $200
2 x front pads $80

2 x rear rotors $150

i think thats all.

(brake lines if need be but dont think so)

All been covered before. EVO 4-6 rear hubs can be pressed into the GSR/EVO I-III rear trailing arms with using new GSR/EVO I-III bearings. You'd only really do it for a better choice of wheel variety... suppose the extra wheel stud adds to the strength of keeping the wheel on when driving sideways too lol Rear hubs are hard to get as most 2nd handy's are probably flogged out from competition cars.

 

[DOUGMO]

you can also use awd magna and others:thumbsup:

 

[evopwr]

piece of cake. I've done a 5stud conversion to my cc (awd).

Use FTO Mivec front hubs (Mivec came with twin pot calipers and hence has a larger brake dust shield) and press your rear hub out and get it redrilled to 5stud and have the holes welded up and cleaned.

All up it cost me (from memory):

FTO hubs: $180 (you can def find it cheaper)
Redrill rear hub and weld/clean original holes: $80
New rear bearings: $80

$340 all up.

I have the Autocad drawing for the rear hub modification if you need it (to give to a machinist).

 

[evo-gsr]

^you've got me thinking now...so many more wheels to choose from!!

 

[evopwr]

yeh man,

no way could i find 17x10's in 4stud lol
