u buying 5 lug for the better brakes or for the five lug cause of a broader wheels selection? what model sedan u have?
if u have an ex model u dont have to waste your money on a expensive 5 lug when u can just put type r brakes on your stock knuckles.

What info are you looking for in particular? Everything bolts up as stock. Just get the suspension from all 4 corners and swap it out. New pads, rotors, and brake lines are advised since the current stuff may be worn. Swapping out the MC/BB and Prop Valve is also advised but not always necessary depending on your application.

Sometimes getting some of the suspension bolts off can be a pain. I always spray everything with PB Blaster a week before I do the job and then the morning of before I get started. That should free up most bolts. But something will still most likely break.

Make sure you get a set of line wrenches to take off all the brake lines and Prop Valve.

You only need a 10mm line wrench.

Besides, a regular wrench or vice grips work just fine.

OP: Remove, replace, enjoy.

If this is from any DC2/DB8 ITR, you will have to get an alignment ASAP! Like...the same day.

If this is from a CTR, no worries...

If this is from a JDM ITR, you will have to get prelude or CRV outer axles or JDM ITR axles with a 36mm nut.

Use EM1 brake E- brake cables. You can use the DC or EG E brake cables...but you will have to do some adjusting and it probably won't be exactly right.

I thought it was RR, LR, RF, LF. Furthest to closest?

Iduno, it should say in your owner's manual.

I find it better/easier to bleed the brakes with the car on, BTW.
