This car is so pristine that I don't want to ruin it by doing too much, but the first thing I want to do is the 5 bolt swap and bigger rotors, calipers, wheels. Car has coilovers on it, planned on putting on better ones when I do the lug swap. There are so many forums and pages to pan through, i was hoping to get some info as far as the best brake set up that will fit as I have read some evo setups work and the 3000gt.

Thanks

unless you have to have wheels that aren't available in 4 lug, there are certainly options for you to go big brake without swapping hubs...

wheels are 5zigen FN01Rc in 17x8 +35

Brakes are wilwoods from TCE, Todd makes a front & rear setup and will provide you hats in 4 or 5 lug (should you want that). I'm the only person I know of that has a rear brake upgrade with a handbrake (evo brakes & wilwoods do not have a way to use a handbrake if you add the rears). I'm eventually going to team up with EHmotorsports to get a wilwood handbrake caliper bracket made, but we haven't quite gotten there yet (you can see the extra caliper there in the rear wheel on my car).

TCE Brakes

I'll warn you... not cheap.
