guys im sure this has been covered but im late to class and need to clarify this ... car is a 98 dx with b series swap. have a 96 itr 4x114 brake conversion sitting in my family room and want to make sure of whats to be done. and which parts to use from each brakes ... im almost cvertain i have to use the stock civic upper A arm but i want to be clear on everything else.... also will i have any issues with the axles or will they fit in the same as they do now ... TIA

 

I think if you're going to bother with the brake swap you should go 5 lug. I hear the bariking is nice.

But I'm not so sure, I was going to pick up a 5 lug setup from a guy who was selling it to go 114. So I'm a little confused as to why.

 

different style itr wheels ... a certain style is in the 4x114 bolt pattern and another style is in the 5 lug pattern .... the 4x114 is what i have and its whats going on the car

anyone have the answers to the questions in my first post

 

Use the whole ITR knuckle, which is the same as the EX. Make sure you use your stock upper A arm. You won't have any problem with axles. Use the ITR ebrake cables and brake lines.

 

thank you

is there an difference in the arm that goes from the upper A arm to the knuckle between the stock ek brakes and the itr ones?

 

The A arms are different between the ITR and EK, if that's what you are asking.

 

i know that but there is another arm that comes from the ball joint and attaches to the knuckle

Brakes are identical... the lug patterns determine what kind of wheels you can put on the car.

 

Oh ok, the ITR arm will have the holes for the ABS sensor, other than that, it will bolt up fine.

 

thanks allot man ... appreciate all the help
