Front 5-Lug swap Hub choices

Does anyone know the pros and cons of aftermarket 5lug swap hubs. So far i know of these ones:

Attain
GTO
Peak Performance-street
Peak Performance-Pro
Signal Auto

Just wondering which one is best for the buck.

In Drift Tengoku, I keep seeing ads for Attain 9-hole hubs that let you switch back and forth between 4 and 5-lug. Does anyone know anything about these?

I've got the peak performance street hubs on my hatch. Quality is excellent, and the 5 lug hubs are way easier than doing the s14 swap. Totally worth the price.

If you can put a hacked rear 'axcel' on the front of the car, go ahead. Otherwise you need spindles and balljoints as well as the front SE hubs for an S13.

the s14 rears will bolt right up on your s13, but fronts do require spindle and ball joints to be changed as said above

Also the pro comes with OEM heavy duty NISSAN* bearings, the street comes with OEM style aftermarket bearings.

sorry to thread jack, if you were to use s14 or z32 rear hubs on a s13 can you use your existing rear bearings or do u have to swap over to the s14/z32 bearings? new bearings are expensive as helllllllll
