Re: 99 Civic SI with 5 Lug Conversion and JDM 16inch wheels. (CDM SiR)
I was wonderng do you the brake lines just bolt right up to the new knuckles and hubs and brake calipers? Also did you have to install a new master cylinder with master cylinder boost to complete the swap to get the stopping power to match the rotors with the brakes... it looks good but I was wondering if it was a lot more work than good. help me out if you know.

I got the center caps.. just havnt put them on...
That is weird.. I thought it would bolt right up to the RSX also...
I know the 2002 Civic SI has a wheel like this one now.
The conversion was hard.. but well worth it.
I will write up a "How To" shortly.

Yep.. my stock SI Brake Lines bolte right up to the ITR Caliper..
I didnt do the ITR Master Cylinder and Booster.. The brakes stop good. .but feel a little spongy.. Going to get them power bleed soon to try to get a firmer pedal.. but the car stops good now...
I heard the car will stop unbelievably with the ITR Master and booster.. but It looks like a pain to change...
How this helps..
If you need help with the conversion.. let me know..

so a dc5-r steering wheel fits right onto the end of your steering column? I know that DC2 and EK wheels aren't interchangable, but I didn't know if a dc5-r or ep3 would fit. No modifications necessary?

ITR master cylinder will bolt right in. Easy as pie to change it. I have the ITR booster waiting to be installed, but I'm not sure if I ever will. Anyone know why I should or why it would be worth it to use the ITR booster?

Looks 
I think the wheel gap looks fine. Granted, it would look sweet a bit lower, but function-wise, that looks like a good ride height.
