Re: whats the biggest reasoning for switching to 5 lug other than disc brakes

So to me it all depends on your circumstances. If you have to buy new wheels anyway thats one equalizer. If you go through rotors alot the 5 lug are less expensive to replace and for sure will never go out of production. If you plan on adding rear disc brakes down the road 5 lug makes it more affordable and you have more kit choises and opertunity to build your own kit.

now that makes alot more since is everyone switching uca and lca just because of balljoint
