5-lugin question
Heres a pick of my R with my project civic:
The Question:
looking to take my civic to the track instead of using my R. Instead of going on Passwordjdm and buying a 5 lug conversion for a ton of money, why cant i just replace the hubs on my civic with a 5 lug hub? ive never herd of anyone doing this and from what i have researched i can:
-Put integra front assembly on civic
-Get hubs and bearings all the way round
-01+ Prelude or Type R calipers and rotors
and thats it....why have i never herd anyone taking this cheaper route when doing a 5 lug conversion? I can have a 5 lug conversion for under $300-$400

I haven't heard of anyone doing this but also never heard why you couldn't either I'm going to look into this cause this could be an easy way to do 5 lug

You would need the ITR knuckles as well. I was thinking about doing this a couple of years back. And just decided to buy the whole conversion. Was kind of scared I would press the bearings wrong or something. Besides, new bearings (and I would only buy them new) are way too expensive anyway.

Re: 5-lugin question
doesn't work because type r rear spindles are longer then ls/gsr and acura only sells the rear spindle with the trailing arm... way too expensive because of that... it is much cheaper and easier to buy used complete type r suspension...
or you can use a mazda axle nut on the rear and risk a wheel rolling past you on the highway... not very safe...
