I think if you're going to bother with the brake swap you should go 5 lug. I hear the bariking is nice.

But I'm not so sure, I was going to pick up a 5 lug setup from a guy who was selling it to go 114. So I'm a little confused as to why.

Use the whole ITR knuckle, which is the same as the EX. Make sure you use your stock upper A arm. You won't have any problem with axles. Use the ITR ebrake cables and brake lines.

The A arms are different between the ITR and EK, if that's what you are asking.

Brakes are identical... the lug patterns determine what kind of wheels you can put on the car.

Oh ok, the ITR arm will have the holes for the ABS sensor, other than that, it will bolt up fine.
