Default will a 1999 Acura tl barkes work for a 5 lug conversion on a 1997 LX?

I have a complete 1999 TL low mile wreck with nice stock wheels and tires and will the parts work for a 1997 5 lug conversion?I need to replace 1 front and 1 rear wheel bearing anyway.and is there any way to make the nice Front seats work in a 1997 accord LX?

There are some good "stickys" on brake conversion. And there are a lot of other options which are easier, particularly for the rear.

I used the 5th Gen prelude upper front and 5th gen prelude hubs and front Calipers. I suggest ordering new hubs for the rear and new bearings for the front, mine seemed good going in but once installed there was a noise from them so I had to pull it apart again and replace them. Rear Rotors I believe were newer accord rotors, I cant remember what year they were from. Stock rear calipers.


I had to mill out the stock lower control arms to fit the larger prelude ball joints. I used the prelude inner and outer tie rods, the right and left side get swapped since the mount is upside down. If you don't reverse them they will rub on your rims.




I am using the 17inch TL rims and they are honestly a little bit of a tight fit in the front. They are very wide so they limit the front turning radius. They look awesome tho, I wouldn't change them for any other rims. Stock tires may be a little bit too big.


No comment on the seats.
