5 lug conversion question

[Sr20detNESS]

when converting to 5 lug on the rear of a s13, i have to upgrade the calipers at the same time correct? and what do i do about the emergency break assembly? thanks

no, you can leave the stock calipers.

If you are using z32 calipers, you have to use their emergency break assembly as well. I'm not sure if you HAVE to upgrade calipers when upgrading to 5lug. Wait for someone else to tell tou that, or search, the answer has probably been posted before.

EDIT: beat me to it

no, you can leave the stock calipers.

what if i upgrade the rotors? do you know if i then have to upgrade the calipers

[SeVa-S13]

You must use corresponding rotors and calipers... ever done brakes before?

[Sr20detNESS]

Yes i have but im saying if i uprgrade the rotors can i still use the factory z32 calipers. is the only difference between an aftermarket and factory rotor cross drilled and slotted or is the width of an upgraded rotor larger than factory as well?

[SeVa-S13]

Aslong as you get upgrades for your specific caliper it should be fine. By the way, drilled and slotted rotors aren't really upgrades. They're mainly for show.

^^well said. moving this to brakes and suspension forum.

if you upgrade to rear z32 calipers you must use z32 rear rotors.......if you leave the stock calipers you must use stock 240sx rotors
