I have an dillema, my rear brakes are shot (pads and rotors), and i am contemplating switching to five stud anyway (curentley four stud). i am planing on changing the rims anyways, so that is not an issue. should i stick with stock calipers or change them? If any one has any input on this topic it would be much appreciated. ps. any deals on five stud hubs.

stock brakes for rear. All new parts for 5 lug conversion hubs and/or bearings. Front brakes Q45 or S13 SR.

just get new stock rotors and a good set of pads for the rear and 300zx brake upgrade in the front  
the 5 bolt hub is very expensive and u can just drill the right bolt pattern for the 300zx brake rotors.

the rear brake rotors are only like 30 bucks each  
just what i did
