What I did was get teg knuckles, pressed in new wheel bearings and hubs. Putting on the ITR calipers and rotors as well. As for the rear I just put on the new calipers rotors and hubs. That's it. Also, I have an 00 Si.

I used 10-lug hubs from an '05 Ford F450.

ok -
I jsut did a 5-lug conversion on my EK last weekend, so i will share what i learned. first off, the JDM ITR uses a 36mm hub, whereas USDM ITR's and CTR's (as well as all other integras/civics) use a 32mm hub. So it is best to get a "conversion" from a CTR or USDM ITR. if you have to get JDM ITR, you will need JDM ITR driveshafts.

as far as the conversion goes, you will need, at the very minimum, hubs, rotors, knuckles and calipers from a CTR, but most conversions come with rear trailing arms, front upper arms and knuckles, and all other things mentioned.

I bided my time and got a good deal on a conversion from Hmotorsonline, that included: Front knuckles, upper arms, rotors, hubs, calipers, rear trailing arms, knuckles, rotors, hubs, upper arms, rear toe links, calipers, and CTR shocks and springs

also, you will need parking brake cables from any civic with rear disk brakes, or integra (mine came with my swap aswell)

then you need brake lines from a 4 wheel disk civic (i upgraded to goodridge stainless steel).

and 5-lug wheels...

it is recommended (but not abosultely required) that you switch to a 4040 proportioning valve (if you don't already have one) and a larger mastercylinder/brake booster from a civic Si or integra.

You can fabricate your own 36mm B-series axles by using a '97-01 Prelude outer CV on a '94-01 Integra axle.

If you are experiencing situations like me.

at the time i do my 5 lug swap,

-i have wrecked 2 rims by a pot hole.(stock 4x100)
-i need to do rear disc conversion on my EK hatch.(get tired of rear drums)
-i need new brake disc for my front(already worn out)

with a little more and less hastle look for everything. for a little more money i went to 5lug..simple and fast solution. plus the mad jdm blingage..
