Default - Big Brake Kit = 5 Lug conversion? ?? -

Friend told me if I get a big Brake kit, like Wilwood, on my 4-lug 93 Hatch ... that It would automatically switch out my whole suspension to 5-Lug.

Big brake kits cost around 1,200 ... but I was thinking why not just get 5 lug conversion from a type-r for around 700$ and like some rotors?

Just wanna know if I do get the big brake kit thing or whatever I get 5 - lug right.

thanks

Whoa!!! you've been fed a lot of misinformation. The Wilwood kit is a front only kit and will not convert you to a 5 lug setup. ITR 5 lug conversions tend to be a bit more expensive than $700 and if it's a JDM 98 spec setup you'll need to invest in some axles as well.

Like, it would convert your car to 5 lug without you knowing or something? Nope.

http://www.fastbrakes.com probably has what you need. You can get the Type R brakes and stay 4 lug, search around some for the method on EGs.

May I suggest stock Integra brakes with some good pads, that's usually more than enough for most people.

I do have a 5-lug setup for sale if you want to go that route.
