pros and cons?

[giorod10788]

Anyone know the pros and cons of using ichiba conversion 5 lug hubs on front and rear of a s13?

[mychalous]

The Ichiba hubs are some of the best on the market. Just buy them.

Pros: Easy way to find a 5 lug swap
Cons: They have bearing problems

Pros: Having the same number of lugs as Dittoz7
Cons: Not actually being Dittoz7

Do I have to change the spindle for the rear or is it direct bolt up to the stock one?

[Razi]

Bolts right up.

Cons: They have bearing problems

you can buy them without bearings i thought, just use oem bearings?

[Razi]

I heard some people trying to do that.
I always thought the insides were a little bit different than OEM and couldn't be swapped.
I've seen people swap them out with high quality bearings from some internet sites though..

id be willing to bet you are right, that really wouldnt suprise me at all.
i only ask because i havent decided if ill go 5lug or stay 4 and rock a little spacer. anyway, thanks

No problem!
If you're lucky at the junkyard, you could always find some Z32 or S14 hubs.
Currently I'm running some S14 5 lug hubs, still going strong!
