oh hey "martaigne"...i just checked ur website with regards to this, and we're both talking about the same guy named "ben" hehe... and he says the exact same thing, 3-5 replies regarding the 5lug swap!...
Yep! I'll be meeting him this weekend with luck and checking out his setup, after which I'll buy all the parts and write up a big tech article on the conversion. With pics!

does this 5-lug guy run ABS? I have an EX so I have ABS stock... wonder if that would be a problem.
No, his car had drums in the rear before the conversion. I'll let you know if the hubs he uses work with the ABS sensor even though I'm gutting mine. Worst case scenario, you can shim the sensor down a little with some washers.

I'm thinking don't bother getting a rear caliper. The stock Accord caliper should work just fine. The 97+Lude/98+AV6 rear caliper actually looks dinkier. I'll find out for sure pretty soon, though.

Thelug pattern needz 2 be 5 by 100, cuz thats the one for common imports and ****. U jus gotta get the hub and switch 'em. but u need to take it to an automotive shop, cuz it needs to be "Hydraulic Pressed". if u do it ur self, you'll **** it up. Good-Luck.

The only import I can think of that uses 5x100 is Subaru. Toyota, Honda, Nissan, and Mazda all seem to use 5x114.3

yea, i think the most you might need is the rear bracket should the rear rotor be a diff size or have a diff offset.
