These hubs came on all 92 sedans whether they had drums or discs. The 92's had a separate drum, 89-91 the drum and the hubs was all one piece.

Exactly, the wheel bearing/race was replacable.

Here is the start I got today at work: ARP extended wheel studs are sweet;)

I compared the expo hub to the eclipse hub and they are the same size. I think you could also just drill out the front hub just like the rear. They are the EXACT same! I got the knuckles powdercoated gloss black tonight at my buddies place, I will post pics later tomorrow.

went to the junkyard today and the first one had crushed the 92 by the time I got there. The second place had a 92 colt, I found out it isnt the same as the mirage in that year:(

Yeah its weird. I have even looked at a 92 summit sedan and it had the one piece rear hub/drum. Yet every 92 Mirage sedan that I have found had separate hubs on the rear.

Not even sure what that means but I'm trying to help you and save you some trouble. If you put a 5 lug dsm hub over the 4 x 100 hub you will see that there isn't enough material there to re-drill to 5 lug. The hub is physically too small to drill to 5 x 114.3.

I wish those hubs were easier to fnd used. I went through all this stuff back in 07 when I was building my 4g sedan and wanted to go 5 lug. I'm not sayning there aren't other ways to do it but from my experience re-drilling the 92 sedan hubs is the easiest. If this is something you want to get done asap I would bite the bullet and buy new hubs. In my 4-5 years of hitting the junkyards I have seen (3) 92 mirage sedans.

yeah that would be easier! I would rather pay the 30 bucks for two at a junkyard. I've spent about 240 so far on this whole swap.... Dont want to spend more! Need more GO FAST parts :supz:

Trust me, I know exactly what you mean. Little projects like this nickel and dime you to death. Maybe someone will stumble upon a pair for you but you know how it is, parts never turn up cheap when you need them.

For The Record,\

89mirageman knows his stuff, I have my set of 92 hubs waiting to be drilled, they are just low on my priority list.

You can buy the hubs from rock auto.
