5 lug conversion will only give u bigger brakes and a different selection of rims. If you want to stop faster + get ooo's from honda guys, then get 5 lug.

If you want to lower your car and turn faster, you should stay 4 lug and invest in a full coilover setup

You definitely do NOT need to go 5 lug just to stop faster. You can get a brake setup that would be equal to or better than R-spec while staying 4 lug and probably paying less money than the 5-lug swap itself.

The only advantage of the ITR 5-lug besides the obviously larger brakes is a wider rear wheel bearing.

wouldn't you rather save money on suspension swap with staying 4 lug but get nicer rims instead stock S2K wheels?

Typically no. You would still need the rear subframe brace. The rear wheel bearings are the only items that is exclusive to the 5-lug.

definitely the aftermarket suspension with the 4 lug. the main reason people convert to 5 lugs is to be "jdm", not for performance reasons.

no not really, i like the look of ap1 wheels on tegs, or i have always wanted to do nsx wheels lol, but even tho i want a set of advan rgs and i could have had a million sets in 5 lug, harder to find in 4 lug, but i have to keep 4 lug for slicks anyways
