Hey wussup y'all. lol.

I finished my rotor over hub conversion a couple days ago. Everything worked out great! I'm very pleased with the results. The parts I used for my 97 Accord EX 5-spd were as follows:

98 CL 2.3 front hubs
98 CL 2.3 front rotors
97 Accord EX bearings

These parts will work for all 4cyl 5th gen accords, no matter what the trim. If it works for 6cyl's also, enlighten me. If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask.

 

yea i also did that swap too as well, comes in handy now whenever i need to change rotors.. as for the bearings it could be any bearings from 90-97 :D

 

not to sound retarded, but what exactly did you do?

 

it'll work for 90-93 as well, 90-97 accords same brakes, suspension, etc...did u use the stock 97 accord calipers or are those different???

kniob: stock 90-97 accord front rotors are pressed on and you gotta take out axels to get to 4 bolts holding the rotors on from behind, this conversion makes the front rotors like the rear rotors where its hub->rotor->wheel so its easier to change rotors, im not sure though if these use the 2 screws like the rears do but ppl leave them off anyways so it doesnt matter...

 

this is good if you blow thru rotors every 2 weeks

Speaking of bearings.. you wouldn't beleive how hard it was to press the bearings out of my knuckles. Left side was a pain.. the right side broke the rotor in half just pressing it out.

I used the stock calipers.

I didn't use the screws btw.

if u do use the screws make sure u use an impact screwdriver to tighten/loosen them, or else theyll get stripped to hell

 

Does anyone know if you could use the brakes, hubs, calipers off of a 3.2CL would work? I don't know for sure but I would imagine they would be bigger.

 

is this also the way and time to change to 5 lugs?

 

you could convert to 5lug. accordinglydone has a nice write up on it. also if anyone in socal wants a acura cl knuckle i got 1.

 

i wanted to ask what the prices you guys paid for the hubs because i've been making calls and have been getting 100+ per side. but i've been reading others have bought for 40-50 per side. might have to consider going out and buying used =s
