for those with EK's with 5lug conversions..ok i have a complete JDM itr 5lug conversion. i believe the JDM front hubs uses bigger axles and i was just wondering if i can use prelude axles on the hub end and Bseries on the motor end. or are there any other axles i can use.....

also any of you guys can give me some instructions on what parts i need to use and any tips on the installation.

please help thanks in advance

Do you use ITR shocks also?

 

HEy Dude..

Yes, you can take your B series Axle, and have a shop put the Prelude outer on it.
Then you will be fine.

I ran into the same problem as you did, I went the route of converting to USDM HUBS, and it turned out to be a huge mess.

Convert your axles. Everything will be fine then

 

I have never hear of JDM 5-lug using different size axles?? When i picked up my suspension from IAS Larry JR. said that you use your same b-series axles.

 

Some JDM ITRs use 36mm spindles as opposed to the 32mm that are standard on civics and integras, including the R in the USA. I just forgot which years.

And you can't use ITR rear shocks on an EK. No way, no how.

 

OK.. Here is the Deal.

All JDM ITR 5 lug Conversion are 36mm Axles.
JDM ITR went to 5 lugs in 98, anything pre-98 is only 4 lugs.

The JDM CTR 5 lug conversion uses 32mm Axle, basicly the same as the USDM ITR 5 lugs.

If you doing the swap on an EK, all you need is the knuckle assembly for the front and the Trailing Arm Assemby for the rear.
NO need for Control arms.

But again.. 98 Spec JDM ITR uses 36mm axles.

just to clarify also, im getting jdm 98 ITR 5 lug, with ITR axles, and the inner boot is 32mm and the outer is 36mm, if you dont have the axles then yes you can use CRV outer or Prelude outer. with gsr inners.
