I'm kinda interested but not for the wheels.. but for the Rally aspect.. but it would be a pain to do so until i am professionally rally racing then I think the 4 lug is good for now

Really no reason for the five lugs. Yeah it could be a bit stronger but unless you are really racing you probably wouldn't need them plus, some WRC cars use only four lugs and obviously are fine.

this is probably just a noob thought but... if u can go to a JY and just pull of any 5 lug hub... why not find a wrecked evo and still the hubs and big brembos off of em?

Besides, if it really was that easy, don't you think we see some rear wheel disc conversions by now?

I'd love some bigger brakes, but we don't need 'em (much). Kinda just like we don't need 5 lugs.

I am pretty positive that it isn't quite as easy as just slapping on some hubs and brakes from an evo. Yeah evo hubs could possibly work put I certainly wouldn't get my hopes up and the brakes would be a hell of an issue and would probably take some welding and engineering. If you want big brakes RMR has some wilwoods or I am sure RPW could find some and I know RPW can get a rear disc conversion b/c I have ordered one from them. Contact vision imports (www.visionimports.com) for all of your RPW inquiries. If you haven't done a lot of mods all you would really need are some decent pads. Get slotted rotors, SS lines, and maybe even some better brake fluid if you plan on seeing any kind of heat in your brakes.
