hub question inside....

Ok, please don't flame me here, I am doing some research before I buy. I would like to know if the SS hub assemblies will fit the non-ss balts. I love the look of the SS but would hate to hypermile it. So what I was looking to do was create an SS clone that I could hypermile. Thanks guys.

Yes the SS hub assemblies will bolt to your steering knuckles.

Youll need:
Hubs
Rotors
Caliper brakcet to use 280mm brakes
OR
Caliper, bracket, pads to use 296mm brakes
Wheels
drums.

Lets not forget stock SS wheels are wicked heavy and not really ideal for fuel mileage, your best bet is sticking to 4 lug, youll have a much broader selection of wheels to choose from, and you can use the money you saved on the 5lug conversion to buy other parts.

Will definitely second that. SS wheels are 24.5 lbs a piece if you get the SS/SC wheels. Not sure on TC wheels.

You can grab some SUPER light rims though off of a Civic or Teggy which would help enormously.

Good luck with that. NO ONE will make that trade. No one in their right mind at least. Your best bet is to go diggin through a junkyard.
