hey guys i have been searching/researching this and it seems to me like it is cheaper/less "time consuming"(-finding and installing) to buy some attain/gto/peakperformance hubs for the front and s14 or naz32 for the rear rather than doing the whole knuckle/lca/whatnot ordeal.... my question comes in here: am i right or am i a bit "confused" cuz the junk yard will charge lets say 1-200 for all the little parts and then you have to go to a local kragen or whatever to buy bearings and then press them and install them and now u have a "hybrid suspension" that u have to use s13/s14 parts on rather than spending 500 on hubs and just installing them.?

by the way how is the peak performance stuff not the "performance hub" or whatever but the cheaper version?

Either way is fine, i feel the opposite of you actually, that the peak performance lugs are the expensive but quick option and the s14/300z part usage route is the cheap but time intensive route.

Honestly though, going 5 lug is fairly pointless on 240sxes. If you're doing it for a brake swap, just get your rotors redrilled to 4x114.3. If you're trying to get wider wheels, look at FNs, played out as they may be, or Gram Lights. Both of these are handsome wheels and can be had on the cheap. Also visit http://www.takumiproject.com and the sponsors for other alternatives.

Save your money and spend it on things that will make your car go and stop faster.
