I'm new to the whole 5 lug conversion side of the EK so I'm not sure if I'm ahead or behind with already having a GSR suspension on the car. Will I just need hubs and discs? the 5 lug instructions ive found thus far are sketchy. thanks for the help.

usually when u purchase the 5lug conversion, it comes with everything needed for a direct bolt on. in ur case, the only thing u will reuse on ur ek is the rear lower control arms unless u get a ctr 5lug and it has the ctr lcas on em. otherwise, a usdm itr 5 lug will be a direct bolt on to ur car.

 

i guess i was thinking that with already having the gsr suspension swap id be ahead on parts and wouldnt have to get as many.

 

You could do a hub swap.

 

just fo it right and get everything needed from the 5 lug conversion.

 

The hub swap's far cheaper. You will have to switch to Legend/ITR brakes though. ITR hubs are wider than GSR by a touch so, the old brakes won't fit.

 

what is the purpose of 5 lug, seriously

 

bigger brakes, different variety of rim selections, ability to run different calipers(nsx and spoon) and bling!

i got my 5lug because of the rims i have for it. 15x7 volk te37 in bronze for 5x114.

I have R/Legend brakes on my 4 lug. You have to mill the brake bracket .080" and re-drill Prelude rotors. I used to have big problems on the track with overheating the brakes, with the upgrade, I never have brake issues.
