Post subject:  4 or 5 lug

I am ready to buy brake for my buggy. I would like a buy a brake kit that isn't super expensive. I read a little on the sentra brakes but I don't really want to have to weld those on. I'd like to just buy a kit. I'm looking for a kit that is not gonna brake the bank but I want it to do a decent job because I'm only gonna have rear brakes.

Also I was wonder what the difference in 4 or 5 lug hubs other than the obvious. If I was to go with a 5 lug is there any advantage because it seems like 4 lug is gonna be cheaper.

Thanks

http://www.appletreeauto.com/product.ph ... 101&page=1 these are the cheapest youll get, but i highly recommend buyin the heavy duty caliper mount, witch i doubt appletree has but i had mine break on me and almost everyone i know, ask them about it so you only have to put em' on once :wink:

Those brakes are junk! been there done that. Get you a set on nissan calpiers and some 4 lug rotorhubs and then some heavy 5 lug adaptors. Best bang for the buck! I have a $1000+ rear brake kit on my race buggy, and they dont work any better than the nissans!

do they make a mounting kit for the nissan calipers or do you have to make one?

I was thinking of this tatum kit. Anyone have any experience with this?
