I've seen people sell complete 5lug swaps here for $250-$300. It's even cheaper if you pull the parts yourself from a donor car.

^For stuff that isn’t that expensive to buy OEM new…I’d buy new. I would think ebrake cables fall into that category.

Why to even bother with a 5 lug conversion? Just curious. Is there rims you like that's 5 lug or something?

There is two going to the rear right?

Better rim selection and yes! If you want a decent pair of 4 lug rims in good sizes that's Atleast 1500 and up on wheels alone!

Wheel selection is a little better but for me it was the beefier caliper and slightly larger rotor up front.
