Five lug conversion????

Has anyone converted their TC to five lug? I know the back is simple, but who sells the parts to do the front?

Isn't that the other way around ??? The back requires an axle swap...the front only rotors.

Try a search on this topic. It has been discussed before (not trying to be a smart ass...just I remember that it was discussed recently so you'll probably find it with a search...).

Whats so hard about doin a axle swap? I was just wondering if they sold a kit to do the front? (like they do for a mustang)

Getting the smell of the gear oil off of your clothes.

Rear axle swap is not hard at all.

I believe you can have the rear axle hub plate redrilled for 5 lugs, however if you are going to that much trouble, just buy new 5 lug axles from Moser for around $115-125 each, you'll spend half that much on drilling plus shipping two ways. Moser Engineering can answer all your axle questions.
