5-Lug Swap
Hey guys, this is my first post in this section. Iam just about to start on my K20a2 CRX.
I have an RSX Type S that Im starting to part out to build the rex.
I've been interested in doing a 5-lug swap because I've been dying for S2K wheels, this way I can do the 5-lug swap, and upgrade my brakes at the same time. I have a few different Idea's on the swap, and I have a lot of questions. I've been searching for a few days, and havn't found the answers Im looking for.
Question 1: Can I use the RSX hubs, and brakes on the CRX? Will anything line up at all? I'll have the entire car to grab parts off of.
Question 2: I have access to a lot of 5th gen Prelude parts. Can I use the hub/brakes off a Prelude?
Question 3: I have a friend that works at Acura, and I can get discounted parts. Can I buy ITR Hubs, get them machined, and use them, along with buying just ITR/Prelude Brakes? (I believe I read that ITR/Prelude/Accord brakes are the same.
I'm trying to do a 5-lug conversion for as cheap as possible, but obviously I don't want to cut any corners.
Thanks a lot!
PS: Please don't bash 5-lug swaps. I don't care if you think it's a waste of money/time. Don't tell me to search either. I've been searching through many sites for a while. I've searched on here, found a couple articles.... just not quite what Im looking for.
Thanks
