Default Poor man's 5 lug brake upgrade....

Ok. I'm thinking about selling the SW88's soon here and swapping over to a 5 lug setup. I have access to many parts and my room mate's stock CW wheels from his car.

I want to know what all will work for the front and rear.

So far, I have Prelude front calipers, which will bolt up to the ITR hub and work with ITR rotors.

ITR hubs obviously for the front and ITR rotors.

What all is needed for the rear and what will swap over???

I feel like a newb asking all this stuff, but brake upgrades aren't really my area of knowledge.

Any help will be appreciated and this will be a good thread to turn to for information

P.S. I like cheese

brake upgrade which will make me money after I sell the Spoons and most parts will be free (calipers, wheels, rotors)

ITR hibs are 75 bucks a piece from Honda, which I get a good discount on, and it's brand new. Prelude VTEC calipers are a larger piston

I don't need the WHOLE assembly. That's the thing

You've got the right parts. I would go ahead and replace the wheel bearings when you have the new hubs pressed in.

thanks.


What about the rear tho?? Just get new hubs, rotors, and calipers???

I've heard GSR rears are the same as 96 spec ITR and work fine with the ITR rotors
