I just got the 4 lug conversion shouldnt there be those 2 philips screws holding the hub to the rotor mine didnt come with them

 

you dont need them, the wheel its self holds the rotor on, but if you wanna be by the book you can goto any brake shop and tell them you need rotor screwes for any integra or honda and pay the .97 cents. its up to you.

 

are sure I dont need them

100% certain. The only real purpose they serve is on the assembly line. After the car leaves the factory, they simply make changing the rotors more time consuming.

 

I have 2 civics w/o the screws and have never had a prob.

yes, they are only there to hold the rotor on when the wheel is off

which helps a lot if you swap wheels frequently... (like going to the track and using slicks, or swapping to/from winter to/from summer wheels, etc.)

 

cool thank brothas just looking for some rims now

the calipers would hold the rotor in place when you change the tires... the lil screws are not needed.

Bingo.

I would recommend against using them if your car is ever going to see winter or salt. PITA to get them off. I had to drill mine out.

 

I'll be #45 to confirm this from personal experience. Proof is that some civics don't even come with the screws, they just have those big round holes where the screws would be.

Yeah, nothing worse that doing a SIMPLE, 30 minute brake job only to strip the heads cause they've corroded on to the disc and you don't own an impact driver, then have to drive out to a parts store, buy an extraction set (and drill/drill bit set if you don't have them), drive home and start over, now making it a 2-3hr job.

If you still want the rotor to be flush when you remove the wheel, just leave one screw in and coat it with anti-seize. But seriously, the screws are worthless.

 

It depends if your using open ended lugs then your ok but if your using stock lugnuts then you will need those screws because at high speed they will cause avibration..

 

dont be lazy, dont be cheap, if you ever have a problem taking off those screws: impact screwdriver

now go get em!!!

How do you figure? I have stock lugs, no screws, and no vibrations.

Ya, that is a good way. I once tried that and broke 2 bits on the impact driver. Those ******* were on there good. Thank you road salt!

Cheers.

 

yea impact driver was a good investment, i used it on my conversion, made them come off easier then just using a screw driver, ***** were like rusted on there
