AARGH, this place is killing me.

no just getting the brakes will NOT change your bolt pattern, the hubs do that. you don't have to get the hubs, you can redrill the rotors (or get new blank rotors redrilled for 4x114.3mm) and redrill the dust shield in the rear (Z32 parking brake is a drum housed in the dust shield). 5-lug hubs do give you some more options for wheels...

Jsquared is correct. You can install the rotors redrilled to the 4x114:


If you look you can see that I have the option of installing these rotors on either a 4 lug car or a 5 lug car.

Why are you getting the brakes? Are you suffering from fade?

What are you running now?

Have you tried different pads?

Better fluid?

Different rotors?

SS Lines?

The Z32 swap can be a costly one.
