Can't remember offhand which pads I have but the combo I have works really well -- I can lock up the tires repeatedly. No, I'm sure these brakes won't cut it on the track, but for street driving they do very well.

The problem with swapping lug patterns is that I'll need to change wheels. What starts as a $40 MC swap (leaking MC) with jump to $2400 if I have to swap to 5-lug with new matching wheels, etc, etc... ugh!

Yes, the 5-bolt pattern is on a 4.5"-dia circle, the 4-lug is on a 4.25"-dia circle. That's only 0.125" apart. I tried some calcs on paper and the only orientations that I can work out have at least one hole overlapping with another. That makes me a bit uneasy. But even if I let myself do this, I'm not sure I can use the existing MII hubs with the (re-drilled) Granada rotors, as their may be issues with the bracket placement/offset, etc.
