1976 2+2 5 Lug Conversion and 4 Corner Discs

[Guest ElvisTorino]

Here's what I'd like to do (as far as brakes and wheels):

 

1. Convert front and rear axles to 5-Lug.

2. Convert front to toyota 4x4 4-piston calipers.

3. Convert rear to disc brakes.

 

Here's what I have:

 

1976 280Z 2+2. Performance wise, it is entirely stock. Engine and other power performance upgrades are to come after brakes and wheels and suspension.

I've been lurking about trying to find information on these conversions and such and while finding good information here and elsewhere there are a few gaps that I would like to have filled before traipsing down the conversion path.

 

Questions:

1. With a five lug front disc set-up with toyota 4x4 4-piston calipers:

1) Is a spacer required?

2) What rotors (preferably vented) are the best practical application?

 

2. With a five lug rear disc set-up:

1) Will the Maxima bracket be an efficient solution?

2) Is a spacer required?

3) What rotors are the best practical application? (I do need a parking brake.)

I appreciate any help/assistance/information y'all might provide.
