iTrader: (5)

ITR and CTR, no difficult.

someone suggested from a prelude....?

Decaf

ive always wondered if their are any benefits to converting from a 4 lug to a 5, besides taking longer to take the rims off

And bragging rights, I suppose.

Converting to Type-R suspension is nice though...4-wheel discs FTW.

Bigger brakes, different wheel options, caliper upgrades etc

hondasport89

Decaf

saying you want ur 97 coupe a 5 lug, doesnt really paint a picture to me as to why you want to do it. use the [freak]ing search button

why not? i did mine 4 years ago to be dofferent, knowing now that 13" wheels dont fit over itr brakes, i wouldnt have done it. but i was 1 of 3 in my area with a five lug, and it does stop way better.

if your concerned about big brakes get the wilwood big brake kit. my best friend has them on his hatch and when he slams on the brakes it feels like your eyes are gona pop out. and seriously that all you really need. its a light car you dont need 5 lug. but if you want to spend the money go ahead.

And how much is the willwood kit? Pretty darn close to a five lug

vanste

ive always thought that cant you just go buy a 5 lug hub off a ITR or CTR and press it on. cheaper way but not sure if it will work the same...

gizzerhatch

its 710 from modacar. its worth every penny.

HeikDiesel

I'm still gonna go with that stock brakes and pads are sufficient for 99% of the cars on the road, but thats just me

He must have some awesome tires

Cool, I have those on my Prelude. Good tires for the street and they last a while, but not real sticky in my experience. They wouldn't ever squeal either, they just spun without making any sound

gizzerhatch

ive had them before but they are all season so they suck in the rain so i went with the Falken zeix or whatever they're called and i have no complaints they are pretty sticky for me.
