E416 PBO Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Hi, I'm fiting Commodore 5 stud hubs, vented discs and calipers to the front of my Manta. Just wondering if anyone else has this done and if so, what sort of brakes will I have?? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul1393 Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 (edited) I have carried out this conversion to my A series. You can use the Manta A upper ball joints as they will fit the Commodore stub axles. The lowers you will have to change for Commodore/Manta B ball joints which are the same. The steering arms will have to be heated and bent to restore the Ackermann angle. With the brakes I used the Commodore calipers for a while before changing them for 4 pot Wilwood ones. I had to get an adaptor made to mount them on the stub axles. Hope this helps, Paul Edited August 9, 2010 by paul1393 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Abbott Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Don't bother, just use the hubs supplied by TMJ? to go 5x120 and use bmw brake discs and wheels. loads out there and a massive amount of discs available, i have 305 mm on mine and they were about 40 quid each, messing with steering angles is a pain in the arse Cheers Kev Back from holiday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
