ok i am going to do a dc5 itr full 5 lug swap. brembo breaks 5 lugs etc. her is my only concern. i already have tein flex coil overs. now i know the rears are exactly the same as the dc5 BUT will the front coil overs fit with the itr conversion. if i am not being clear lmk and ill try to be more detailed!

 

Why are you going to 5 lug?

 

umm better wheals better breaks bigger breaks
brembos ftw

 

You can get just as good wheels, bigger brakes aren't really going to help all that much. Not worth the money spent IMO.

 

yes, suspension will still work. you know you need custom axles right?

 

think they'll stop them cromes alot fast lol just a yoke,,,, buster em *****

 

axles really?
y?

Better wheels? Bigger brakes? Brembo's only come in 5-lug form?

You know you can use some Brembo calipers on your existing setup. Also, you can get a Brembo big brake kit. And, there's just as many 4x100 wheels out there, as there is 5x114.3.

DC5 hubs have different splines than EM2 hubs. So you will need custom axles to run DC5 hubs.

 

so itle bolt right up 2 a k seris?

Yes, it would be compatible with a K-series drivetrain.

 

yo matt its also that fact that not that many people have a five lug set up....in these years.....even tho most go with the k.. then its obvious...some people such as myself dont have the money to do such a awsome project........I'm jealouse at most of ya.........and i congrat you all for your progress.......just its different ya know

 

u dont need custom axles if you use RSX-base model knuckles, and u can still fit S2K/RSX/TSX brakes on to them.

The Brembo's came on the DC5-R's. They're different from the DC5 hubs. The bolt pattern may be the same, but the rest of the mounting structure is slightly different.

 

not to mention your offset is thrown out of proportion, you'll need to find anything from +55 to +60 offset for wheels to sit flush, +45 with these would stick out a bit too much. like +30 offset on our cars currently.

 

haven't people done this already? and i mean it does kinda make sense to do its very rare great toping power. or does it jut make more sense to get a rear disk set up off of the ep3 and get better rotors and brembo calipers and such?

 

i've seen some do dc5r conversion but they've all had kswaps. i have dc5-s 5lug conversion and a d17, custom axles...

i had ep3 rear disc before the conversion, and i like 5lug better, it feels way better then braking on the old brakes. of course i could've got better brake pads and i'll still feel the same as right now with the 5lug.

 

wre did u get the axles? cuz i really wanna do this

 

custom axles dude, they don't make them, you have to have them made...

 

lol^^^^^^^^

local guy here, no shop or anything - just someone i found on a local forum, he did them for me.

 

oh gottcha. i may just be doing my k20a soon and just do it all at one time!! ftw

 

yep, definitely a better thing to do, then what i did .

 

ye. im going to take aout a very small lone to get the k in. i need to start building credit and credit cards blow the huge one. whats the best after market header to use for the swap. im going with the ingin intake and the gready tic exaust. im doing the custom fab on the exaust!! whats a good headrer to go witht hats et up in your opinion

 

there's a lot of good ones, just depends on your pocket, can go anywhere from 500-1500 for header alone.

i hope by "small" you mean at least $6k for a loan... i went at this with no loans because being in debt sucks . this is why it's taken me over a year to complete...
