high-rolla-corolla Posted October 30, 2013 Report Posted October 30, 2013 Hi I have been looking into convering my 1978 ke30 from 4 stud to a ford 5 stud for the plain reason I want to fit a set of 5 spoke 5 stud 17" show wheels and also want some 300mm front disc brakes too what is the best and easiest way to convert it to 5 stud hubs front only without fabrication work Or does any1 no of good japanese coilovers with 5 stud hubs and 300mm disc brake set up with 4 piston callipers I'm after a direct bolt in sort of thing don't want to have to fab anything Planing on putting 4g63 in it but want to have suspension, brakes and drive line sorted so its ready for the power that will be thrown at it Quote
B.L.Z.BUB Posted October 30, 2013 Report Posted October 30, 2013 (edited) You'd need to change your front struts completely. An option would be xt130 struts with mx65 hubs which are 5 stud (might get lucky with the pcd but I doubt it) then bolting 4 pots on (land cruiser, hilux etc). Anything you do will involve some form of fabrication, springs custom made, spring perches swapped or coilovers put on. Hubs would need to be drilled to ford pattern if they arent right. Easiest option would be ae86 gear with a big brake kit, then buying wheels to match. Edited October 30, 2013 by B.L.Z.BUB Quote

B.L.Z.BUB Posted October 30, 2013 Report Posted October 30, 2013 There is no easy cheap non fabrication bolt on upgrade for the stock struts. Quote
