A 5 stud brakes upgrade has a fair few benefits:
1. Upgraded brakes.
- 276mm front brakes
-260mm rear brakes
- fair few options for race pads and daily pads.
2. awesome wheel choices
- not sure what type of direction to go but if its for show 5 stud is the way to go. granted there is good 4x100 wheels but definitely not as common as 5x114.3
- wheels with heaps of dish or not so much
- yeah its hard to get 15 inch wheels for better tire sizes but that comes with building cars.
-15inch vs 16inch
3. 5 stud conversions can come with a swaybar.
- check the for sale section in NSW
- yes fto rear swaybar is not adjustable like the whiteline swaybar but good luck trying to find one for a fair price.
4. its not noticeable to the untrained eye.
- therefore you can upgrade your brakes and not have unwanted attention from the boys in blue.
- if your wheels have mexi-poke or you're about that stancenation lifestyle then thats on you.
now i understand its your first car and you want to start modifying but dont make the same mistake i did.
just buy parts for the sake of buying parts. plan, plan and plan.
what do you want out of it then reverse engineer how you get there. theres plenty of build here that are tracked and daily-ed as mentioned by the others.
the people here arent trying to scare you from modifying your car. you just need a direction to go in and then we can help guide you on how to get there.
if you do need to ask a question, create a ride thread, post up some photos and then as there. the chat does die down during the weekend but as somewhat active during the week.
