Default ? aboot turning it to a 5 lug thug

ok i looked at the faq and im confused....can you do the 5 lug swap with just hubs in the front and hubs/bearings in the rear...are the calipers and brakets the same...ive got 00 Si brakes on my hatch right now


i obvi know that the rotors and wheels need to be changed...


thanks, Ryan

I'm not sure about the front, but on the rear you can just swap out the hub and spindle. But the problem is, you can't just buy the spindle from Honda. They only sell the whole trailing arm.

my suggestion to you. buy the whole set. but make sure its 5 lug from a civic type R and not integra. that way you dont needt to have a headache when it comes to buying axles. your B series 32mm should fit up with the civic type r.

usdm type-r would do fine we did it to our friends ek9 and everthing bolted right up. u might need a porportional valve but we just adjusted the brakes under the dash. when u buy brake pads and rotors just buy it for the itr

u will need the brake cable too

Yes, the Si E-brake cable will work. So will any 92-95 Civics with rear disc. (i.e. 4DR EX, Si)

ITR will work, but the axle for his motor wont work. CTR will work perfectly for him. CTR uses same axle as his, so he doesn't need to buy new axles.

As long as its not JDM ITR, it will work. Only JDM ITR uses 36mm axles. USDM ITR's have 32mm like everything else.
