I take it u mean five lug...it has bigger rotors and calipers but imho just stick with ur 4 lug and upgrade to brembo blanks and hawk pads...besides i dont think its worth the additional weight other than to just say I have five lug...

i already have the plane brembo and hawk pads but less than 5 000km its started to shake.

The brake kit on the itr,is it verry much better?

my boy had them on his b16 ek hatch...said that the braking was better than his se-r spec v..but has not made comparison to the stopping power, only about weight...i would think it would make a difference in stopping, but how fast do u plan on going...???how long have u had the current set up on your car that its shaking now??

Drop the 5-Lug
$ better spent else where

i saw many kits on fastbrakes.com so i will keep my 4 lugs and upgrade for 11 inch

Just upgrade your rotors and pads. 5 lug is for JDM fan boys with money to blow on non-functional shit (see: red interior, no airbag) It looks nice, but not worth it lol.

lol WHAT?!!

First off, OEM quality&gt; aftermarket quality.

If you did go with a mix-match of OEM parts, it's a good, cost effective idea, but, with my 5 lug, If i ever needed a rotor, I didn't need to special order it. I would go to a parts store....and they'd have what I wanted. I wouldn't have to order specially redrilled rotors every time.

I got my 5 lug for around $350 with wheels..and a LOT of other stuff...rare stuff.

It helped a lot. I road raced my hatch (that I should have never sold) and the 5 lug really did help.

It looks freaking awesome. Aesthetics and presentation is important to me. No matter what I'm doing. I HAVE to road race...but I HAVE to look good doing it. I also HAVE to look good wherever else I go. It's nice having rare, expensive parts.

I also never pay full price for anything. I guess if you paid $1500 for your 5 lug and wheels, it would be slightly irritating and the "im so cool, look at me" factor would wear off when people saw you were wearing 5 year old jeans because you spent all your money on your 5 lug...

I'm so vain.

^ Nice. People with taste and a sense of flair are becoming rare now a days lol.

Dont get me wrong, I like functional shit. It just has to look good, that's all.

Diggin the spoon calipers. Do you have to use spacers for those on stock CTR/ITR wheels?
