Hey, I have some 5 lug conversion plans for my car, but nothing too soon. I just wanna know if the VG S12 has the same bolt circle as the Z31 LSD rear section? Cuz I wanna use the VG's front brakes for better stopping power, and the Z31 rear end for the LSD. Are they the same size circle?

Thx guys!

The 87-88 200sxse and 87-89 300zx non-turbo cars use the same brakes all around I believe. They use the same calipers and discs and pads.

The turbo 300zx cars have better brakes.

I have a complete set of discs and calipers from a 88 300zx available.

The Z32 TT brakes work as well if you have 5-lug SE hubs correct?

I want to upgrade to 5-lug but finding the parts for our cars is near impossible... I was just going to buy the struts, hubs/spindles, calipers and rotors new from AZ or NAPA but most of the parts are unavailable and they only carry the strut cartridges. :(

I think the Z32 stuff will work if you swap to S13 front suspension, but I'm not sure about the SE stuff.
