I have been looking at different front suspension setups. then i looked at just converting to 5 lug like i did on my old luv. my dad made a 1/2" adapter to go to 5 lug. it worked great. drove it daily for like a year then sold it. i was searching and see alot of people saying to run aerospace front brake setup. i would get the street setup. my main question is, does this setup make the track width any wider???


can someone give me a link to the setup im looking for??

I haven't run them, but I read up on them, and I believe it is supposed to be 1/4 on each side...

don't go to aero directly you can get them cheaper or i did through auto fab, there on racing junk and i think e-bay. my whole setup for the track cost me a little over 1000, i know the street set up is a little more but you still might save some money.
