Default 5 lug conversion questions

I was looking into doing a 5 lug swap on my 96 hatch and i was looking at the ITR and the CTR swaps from http://www.hmotorsonline.com or from http://www.passwordjdm.com and my questions is are they the same size rotors? does on have better calipers than the other? would the CTR bolt up easier to my civic? does one require more parts than the other to install on my car? i

h motors didnt have a ctr set

Here is a JDM DC '98 Spec Integra Type R 5 Lug Front and Rear Disc Brake Conversion! Larger rotors and calipers for improved braking! Comes in a 5 x 114 bolt pattern. Includes all brake components, front knuckles, and rear trailer arms. The price does not include the JDM ITR 36mm axles which will be necessary to use these 5 lug swap (USDM B-series axles are 32mm). There are no brake lines, e-brake cable, shocks, springs or lower control arms included in this set.
$899


The only difference i noticed was axle sizing, none of them seem to have all the parts required for the swap

So my question is this is one superior than the other? or is it just depending on if you are doing an itr swap into your civic? I plan on dropping in a b18c5 into mine so the axles would come with the complete swap so it would not be that big of a deal, I am just curious as to the pricing difference, and also how much better breaking do these provide over the GSR conversions?

bump...in the same boat as you.


I think that you should get the USDM type R 5 lug conversion, due to the fact that it has 32mm axels while the JDM ones have 36mm which makes it a pain in the *** if anything were to happen. Im not sure about the CTR though...Also are there any write-ups for 5 lug into ek? Like what parts are needed and not needed...

Go with either the USDM ITR or CTR Axles. God forbid you snap an axle you'll have quite a good time looking for another one. I believe the ITR's are a bit bigger than the CTR's too.

I have CTR 5 Lug on my coupe and I love it

ctr is the same as usdm itr, jdm itr (98+) have all the same rotors and calipers but the front wheel bearings and hub size is bigger. You can run the jdm axles if you have a b series but not with a d. I have heard that a crv axle is a direct replacement but I have never tried myself.
