well, whats different? (im trying to do a 5-lug conversion, and all i can find is for DAs). and i dont need input about why the 5-lug, its for the better brakes, the use of Mugen MF10 wheels, and because i want to. thanks.

all the I know for a fact that is different with the rear suspension, including trailing arm is that the 90-93 teg setup has a wider track. So basically, the wheel will stick farther out in the wheel well.

so, basically, i can follow the DA instructions, and it should work? I just dont want to do anything wrongly, and mess up my rex. I want this to go smoothly as possible.

There is no way to possibly bolt on the integra type R (that's the only teg five lug I know of) and retain the factory geometry. It is simply designed for a different chassis. If you do a search you will find a ton of info regarding the 90-3 integra brake/suspension assemblies on a CRX. It can be installed, but it will not retain the proper geometry.

Rear disc brakes are the same for 90 CRX Si and 90-93 Integra but the Integra fronts are bigger caliper and rotor which will swap in and make a nice conversion but you have to take the entire hub upright with it to get the caliper mount brakcets. Your will want to likely go with the bigger master cyl. at that time. Rear trailing arms and LCAs are not right as the track is wider on the Integra.

Also, the normal 90-93 Integra is four lug and not 5 lug unless you found a car that has been converted.

thanks a lot guys, so youre telling me these 5-lug CRXes ive seen (absolutely beautiful cars, not crappy ones) have bad alignment/scraping problems? im sure i can do it, even if i have to get some stuff machined. i dont mind spending a lot of money on this. i want to do it right. but thanks for the good comments.
