    you will have to do a 5 lug conversion. which isnt very difficult but in terms of them acually fitting, there are a few people that have them on with no issues

    Yeah its pretty easy. You can get brand new hubs/bearings on ebay for dirt cheap.

    if you are a decent macinist, and you have a 5 lug brake rotor to go by, you can knock out 3 of your studs, place the 5 lug rotor over the hub(and the one remaining stud) then centerpunch the 4 new holes.... then drill them out. Once you have your holes drilled out, then you just install the 4 other studs. if you have a 5 lug rotor you can lay it over your 4 lug rotor, clamp it in place, then drill our the 5 lug pattern into the 4 lug rotor.
    I'm not sure how you'd go about the rear drum if you have them.
    Best way obviously is to get the 5 lug bearings.

    back in the day i was looking for that kind of spacers/adapters, but you have to understand that if you want to do upgrade brakes and stuff, 4 lug is no good. I mean you can drill them out, but it isnt justified.

    Just get all parts off eclipse/not the GSX for the rear/. i have switched many front spindles, because i had bunch of negative camber messing the bearings up. they cheap

    God created turbo lag to give the v8's a brief moment of hope.
