please help!!


okay, so i bought a 97 civic hatch and i want to do the 4x114.3 wheel conversion. i already have the setup off the 96 integra type r from japan.
it comes with both front knuckles with rotors, pads, and calipers. for the rear, it comes with rotors, pads, calipers, and the ebrake cables. i know the rear will fit perfect because i did this for another already.

so i did the front driver side the other day and it doesnt seem to fit right. the knuckle hits the springs when installing but after i put the wheels on and drop it, it has doesnt touch anymore. and after i drop the car, the wheels camber super bad and my car is stock height.


HELP PLEEEEEEEAASE???

 

sounds like the knuckle is bent

 

I don't think its bent. I had both front knuckles on my integra before and it fits fine.

 

what upper control arm are you using?

 

Its the stock one.

 

The '96 Spec JDM ITR lug pattern is 4x100, is that what you have?

 

No its 4x114. 1996 is the only year HONDA itr came out with 4 lugs in that pattern.

 

So for 1997 it's a different lug pattern?

 

1997+ itr are 5x114.

 

That's incorrect. Five lug suspension for the ITR was not available until the '98 Spec model, which debuted in August of 1997.

 

it this a quiz or something? and if the 97 itr dont have 5 lug, then prove it?

 

One of you is fighting over usdm facts and the other jdm facts, both of you are retards.

 

Hahah yeah we are. I didn't start it. This is supposed to be 4x114 help tread. So please help!!!

 

post a pic and when you say stock upper control arm its stock for a ek civic?

 

yes i mean stock off of the ek hatch. my friend has the camera right now and hes not here. will take pics tomorrow after work. i just got home, as i drive pass the hatch, i see my wheel camber like crazy!!! and its stock height. looks weird

 

I don't think anyone in here is retarded, who are you to judge anyone? If he's referring to a '96 ITR then he can only be referring to a JDM model, in 1996 in the US, the ITR was not available. So apparently we'd only be talking JDM models, not USDM. It's a known fact that the JDM '96 Spec ITR did not come with 5-lug suspension. Part of the '98 spec upgrades included five lugs per wheel. That's like saying HID's were available on the '96 Spec......

 

I think the thing that's making the confusion is that the JDM 96-spec was made from late 95 through 97. There was no JDM "97-spec" (still considered a 96-spec, but made in '97), but there was a '97 USDM ITR with 5-lug. 5-lug didn't make its appearance on the ITR in Japan until the 98-spec.

 

Exactly. The 1997 Honda Integra Type R did not have 5-lug. The 1997 Acura Integra Type R did have 5-lug.

 

So a guy asks about a fitment problem and you go off about a bunch of facts you dont know and your not a retard? Help with the problem or go away.

 

Apparently the only one in here who didn't have there facts straight were the OP. So don't post without thinking. Don't post when you don't know what you're talking about.

 

Ummmm, the 95-97 jdm itr is 4x114.3, you thought it was 4x100 princess

 

And that was a simple type-o. I didn't start criticizing anyone like you apparently felt the need to. I can say I know my facts pretty well, especially when it comes to ITR's, buddy.

 

Great, then help him fix his problem instead of fighting over the bolt pattern of different years and screwing up his thread.

 

Pictures are still pending...

 

so are the upper control arm from a civic and an integra the same.? and its best to get an alignment after the swap is complete.. as for if the setup came off a ctr. an alignment wouldnt be needed.. from since its off an integra.. align it..
