calipers and pads are the same - the swept area on the disc remains the same width - just it's further out on the larger diameter rotors on the 5 stud models - same with the fronts on 5 stud models. They use DB291 fronts and DB252 rears.

he'll still need a complete 5 stud hub though cause the caliper mounting brackets are longer.. unless it's the caliper slider mounting which is longer to accommodate... heck I've just confused myself - can anyone confirm?

It's a pity CAPS doesn't work for our cars - otherwise I would be able to find out for sure.

You can get the disc from ebay quite cheaply approx $117 usd for a set of 4. Shipping isnt too bad as they can be shipped in a flat rate box, pm jdstaz5 for the link to the seller.

Hope your friend learnt his lesson, learn to drift on a track instead of the street less things to hit and its not expensive to compete either, at least not in australia.

a little off topic, but the flatbody 5 lug must be different than the widebody 5 lug rear. If both calipers are interchangeable 4 to 5 on a flatty, they will not interchange on a widebody rear. I tried to mount one a while back, and it wasnt going to happy on my 86 wide.

Probably have the hub housing only (not the important part, the shaft thru the centre) and caliper.
