Why do a 5-lug conversion...

[TT91]

yea i know there is, just stirring the pot, especially if the car is pushing 500+rwhp..

I think one thing forgotten here is that with the 5 lug conversion the braking and overall handling is a 150% improvement. You couldn't pay me to go back to a 4 lug setup simply cause the improvement in handling!!!

how does 1 more lug nut provide more handling besides maybe better braking

The additional single lug does nothing for handling or braking. It is the required SN95 spindles with better ackerman steering built into them that improves the handling.

i forgot about the spindles, what i meant about the braking is with the 5 lugged rotors are better that the drum brakes
