if every thing is not bent jump on it and sell it later for more then you bought it for
<-------running it on the CX and has to say is on eof the bests mods yet

I would get the GSR stuff if it isn't bent/etc.

5lug is nice but unless you're actually racing and need the wider track and beefier hubs, there aren't too many compelling reasons to go that route. Looks cool, though.

hatchboy93

yea i figured that too. i want to get the gsr brakes but im just so lazy!!!!! i have to pull them off then i have to pull mine off then put the gsr's on i mean i just did my swap and im tired lol

hatchboy93

i have another question. do i have to swap the whole fron suspension form the gsr to my car. cant i just wap the caliper and rotors?? in the front?

best way to detach the GS-R stuff is take off the 2 17mm bolts that attach the upper front controll arm thru the shock tower, undo the lower ball joint, the steering ball joint, take the axle out of the hub and detach the brake lines. You don't need the front LCAs.

hey buddy if don't want the gsr stuff, i'll buy it off you for like 300. $100 profit just by taking it off the GS-R :D

Project SSAP1

check everything since it was wrecked...but a nice 4 lug gsr brake conversion is cool..just get some nice fastbrakes rotors and legend calipers

5-lug is nice, but for $200, I say get the gsr setup. However as others have said, make sure that it isn't bent.

IS3Fifty

you need ALL of the GSR parts even for the front. I think the pillar is different for the gsr also.

ok i went yesterday and pulled the whole brake system off the wrecked gsr, and every thing is still perfect no bent pats. i got the whole rear trailing arms with E-brake cables, and i mean everything lol, and i got the whole front system including the upper A-arm oh i also went aheadn ang gor all 4 struts and springs while i was there the struts are pretty new. i think im going to put them on this weekend one more thing i forgot i am gonna have to go o the junk yard too to pick me up a 40/40 proportioning valve!!!!! after that i should be ok untill i get more money to get that new upgraded master cylinder what do u guys think?

White Lightnin

No you dont.

I do have all GSR components on mine, but you can take just the front knuckle piece that attaches at three points and the axle.

I say do it. Its only like an hour to take it all off. I drove a state to get it for more than that. I say go for it.

hatchboy93

yea but im just so jealous lol at all these other guys with their expensive 5 lug conversions and their sway bars and their mugen this and mugen that. i wish i could afford all that like some of these guys.

mugen76

good call. if you ever decide to sell it, you can get much more than what you paid. rims are cheaper and there's much more variety for four lug, there are more options for brake and rotor upgrades. etc..

hatchboy93

thanx guys. the only bad thng is one of the studs that the lug nut goes on has been broken but im going to tap out the broken stud and replac it with one off my old brake system but i just put in brand new EBC green stuff brake pads and they fit perfectly i cant wait to try them out!!!

kommon_sense

Do you grab the booster and mc as well?

while your at it put in stronger studs! maybe extended but just not skunk2 ive heard bad things bout them...

Good call on not getting the 5lug...i think youll regret it later....money for the "oooh hes got 5lug conv." factor is wasted money IMHO
BE SMART and BUY smart...you can upgrade your gsr brakes to be quite beafy and outperform the 5lug

Gsr brakes !!!!!! I told you,u will need the 40/40...

hatchboy93

i can get the booster and master cylinder from the gsr for free but i didnt think it would work because the car has abs and my car doesnt can i make the brake booster and M/C and the prop. valve work on my car even though the gsr had ABS ?????

hatchboy93

does any one know the answer to this??

hatchboy93

never mind guys i know the answer. it wont work because i would have to flare and bend my factory lines to reach it its a hassle in it self im just gonna get that M/C off the 92 4 door civic ex or one off a 92-95 civic SI hatch

buddha429

have fun pressing out the hub to change studs..... its a biotch... good luck, l8rz

hatchboy93

are u serious is it that hard???i thought all i had to do was remove the rotor and tap the hub off and use a mallet to tap out the old stud?

white99gsr

no, the best way to do it is with a slide hammer. you cant just hammer it out because there is not enough room. get a slide hammer that attaches to your studs with the lugs and bang that biotch out, it should only take a couple trys.

hatchboy93

i dont understand what u are talking about. i thoght u had to take the hub apart to get the stud out??
