so for the front 5-lug swap you just need LSJ hubs, rotors and calipers? it all bolts to the stock stuff?

Pretty much, or the Brembo kit that I got with hubs. If you switch the rear you need the entire beam or brackets that Powell makes (have seen them elsewhere too).

You will also need new brake lines, recommend going with the stainless braided.

yes lsj hubs, calipers/brackets and rotors bolt right up, and if ur going 5 lug might as well go 5x114.3 redrilled hubs, and for rear you can bolt lsj hub on to the rear beam and use a a 5 lug drum, unless you want to go disk, swapping out complete rear beam is easiest

Can coilovers be powdercoated? A gas shock plus a 400 degree oven seems like boooooooom to me.

climb385

just the springs, already took them apart, lol

Buy Mike's RPF1s yet lol

climb385

As much as I'd die for his rpf1's cuz they would look amazing on the Balt I can't afford them, and spending 1k on wheels than tires, isn't what I'm looking to spend, I'll find wheels soon enough

At least you have a lot of options with 5x114.3
