I plan on doing a type r conversion but I have a few questions, like will a rsx-r front and rear suspension fit onto the EP3 or do i have to get a EP3 type r suspension or can a regular us spec rsx-s suspension work, I am not that familiar with the suspension of a rsx-s, if it five lug??? Also what is the lug pattern for a 5 lug conversion because I either plan on getting type r white oem jdm wheels or TRUE buddy club p-1's. thanks for any info given, i am going from a S2000 to a ep3-WHAT A LONG STORY

 

I asked the same question not to long ago and nobody gave me a really good answer. This is just a guess, but what I figure is that the base model RSX front brakes setup should fit on an Ep3. Because the Ep and base RSX have the same motor I figure they should be the same. I am not sure about the rear brakes. Doing this conversion would save a lot of money if it works. Where would you find Civic Type R suspension parts in the states? If you did they would be over priced. Anyway, if you find out anymore about this swap pass the word along.

 

I have sourced a complete 5 lug conversion for $500. I will try it and let you guys know.

 

usdm dc5 or jdm dc5 will fit on usdm ep3 no problem. you can be cheap just change to 5-lug or swap all jdm dc5 suspension w/ brembo calipers. but don't forget that you need to use 5-lug 17" rims. best of all you get brembo & type-r bushings.

 

Are the front axles the same between the DC5 and EP3?
