Default 5 lug conversion problem

has anyone tried to do a 5 lug conversion on an integra w/out getting the itr rear trailing arms? it seems to me that the itr has a longer spindle and the rear hub wont be seated properly on a regular integra arm.. so..has anyone gone through this procedure?

Yes, When I bought my 5 lug conv. one of the trailing arms where bent so I used the stock arm and it worked fine. They look the same to me.

did the spindle nut thread all the way so you could notch it?

that's the problem im having. the nut is already tight, but the spindle itself it too short so i cant notch anything.

you need itr spindles, but the itr spindles can't be purchased without the trailing arm as one piece, at the dealer of course
