96 spec type r 4x114 conversion
Is it worth it to do this conversion on my 96 hatch? I was first looking towards just doing a rear disc swap but I came across this setup and seems like a pretty decent deal, it includes everything needed to do the swap plus the 15" rims for $350.
I looked at some past threads and a lot of people were against it but most of them were from 2007-2008 when getting some of the replacement parts were more difficult i guess.
SO my main question is, is there anything i should be aware about as for fitment or offset issues or just anything in general that i should know before i go ahead with this? And in your guys opinions what do you think?
Thanks

Re: 96 spec type r 4x114 conversion
same wheel pattern as accords, and you can most likely use accord wagon front rotors since they use the same size (11") brakes as ITR's. the thing that concerns me, and should concern you too, is 350 for a set of wheels, the 1" mc and matching brake booster, a prop. valve plus front control arms and rear trailing arms with axles and brakes?? sounds too good to be true.
imo it'd be something different, less noticeable which is great for detouring thieves but you still get the larger brakes and stopping power

Yeah includes everything except for the control arms i think. The shop owner is an old family friend so thats the reason for the price. I was worried about the offset though cause it looks like it sits really deep inside the wheel wells
