You think machining the stock 4 lug hubs with a drill press and grinder is better than converting over to used S14 5 lug???? That is suuuuper interesting. Didn't think said "big-name drift teams" couldn't afford using 5-lug hubs.

ehhhhh... it doesn't really... work that way. you can't just cut that gusset off in one block. regardless, these hubs are rather over-engineered anyways. they're damn beefy.

i looked around for a long time. got a pair of rears for free, homeslice discount sorta thing. couldn't find fronts, but after seeing how simple it was to redrill them on my housemate's s13, i figured i'd go ahead and do it on mine. i had the time, the tools, and the patience.
