Hello..im currently thinking of upgrading my suspension from 4 to 5 lug, but not quite sure on the statistics of the two suspensions. Can somebody lay out any differences between the two for me. Thank you in advance for any help.

 

im in the middle of doing the same thing to my civic. you want to look for a usdm itr or a civic type r 5 lug from what i found is the usdm itr and jdm civic 5 lug is the same and you can use your stock axles the jdm itr uses 36mm outer axles. if you get them with out the axles it sucks to try to find axles or if you snap one at the track. im on the search for us or jdm civic 5 lug they are harder to find and can be more expensive...........

 

Are the brakes sizes any different?

No. Both the EK9 CTR and the DC2 ITR used 11.1" vented rotors with 17CL15VN calipers up front and 10.2" solid rotors with 9CLP13S calipers in the rear.

As far as EP3 CTR and DC5 ITR go, I don't know.

 

the front spindle of a ctr uses a 32mm nut while the itr use a 36 mm axle nut. i also have a post called " 5 lug conversion using 4 lug spindles "

 

correction, the usdm itr 5 lug conversion is still a 32mm axel nut, while the jdm itr 5 lug conversion uses the 36mm axel nut.
