I'm not sure if the XG's brakes will work on an accent. To be honest, I have yet to see an accent up close and taken apart, so I really can't comment as to how similar they are to the Tiburon and XG...

Let me dig around www.hmaservice.com and see if they share any partnumbers and dimentions...

I was speaking with Sam this weekend about doing this conversion to my Accent and it is possible. When I do my Beta swap, I'll be putting S-Coupe axles with Tiburon brakes up front and Tiburon brakes in the back. After that's done (in a couple months) I can tell you how well it goes.

Ok, so I'm probably stupid. But aren't the XG's a 5-bolt pattern?

You are correct, I just checked the HyundaiUSA site and you can see in the pics that there is five...

I wanted to do the same type of thing, when I searched for this topic there was lots of stuff, but it was confusing to me... so its a good thing some of the smart people on here are putting together that FAQ... thanks in advance to them
