I dont exactly know where to post this, but I figured that some of you might know.

I am thinking about doing changing my suspension out to a 96 ITR 4lug set up. The price is half that of the 5 lug, which means I can get the wheels also, and I kind of like the the fact that most people will not know what I have. The problem is that I have no Idea where to get replacement parts, or upgraded parts. For example, if I needed new tie rod ends or rotors, what would I use? Where would one get those parts? Or if I was going to install Urethane bushings, steel brake lines, or a big brake kit, I could run into the same problem. I know that many things are interchangeable, but does anything from american cars work with this for example accord rotors, or ITR or Legend calipers?

Should I just get the 5 lug and get wheels later?

Thanks in advance for any help/advies.

 

Why are you changing out your suspension in the first place? Is there something wroing with the current one?

What will you do with your car? Auto-X? Drag Race? Road Race?

 

Yes, my suspension has 190,ooo miles on it (very worn out even though it has urethane bushings and other small stuff), and I plan on road racing/autocross. I have a 92 integra suspension on the back of my civic now, and I like it, but the front needs to be done. For a little more than the price of the parts to do the front, I can do the hole car with 96 ITR stuff, bigger brakes, sway bars, etc. I just dont know if I can find maintenance/oem type parts for it if things need replacement. USDM integra stuff is easy to come by, JDM I'm not sure about. I'm not doing it for a JDM look, b/c IMO that is kind of ghey and a waste of money.

when i talked to steve at password jdm he told me accord/prelude 4lug stuff worked (rotors, pads, etc) - now i dont know about the other stuff though

 

That is great news. I just e-mailed that guy. I guess I will do it. Do you guys think it is wrong for me to run JDM ITR 4lug wheels? Maybe too riced out?
