a general information post for the entire forum;

there are only two types of hubs, knuckles, ball joints, etc. those are 4 lug and 5 lug. there are only two types of brakes, vented and non-vented. the brakes were divided by turbo models, convertibles, and any na models which had a factory limited slip having vented and all others having non, regardless of lug pattern.

what this means to you;
get all of the outer suspension parts from any 5 lug and buy new 5 lug rotors and you are good on a 5 lug swap
