I'm looking to do the 5 lug upgrade on my si that was listed on k-series.com. Where would be a good place to acquire the RSX-S hubs?

 

Kind of an unnessary upgrade, don't you think. There are alot of other mods that would be better for either looks or performance, IMO.

5 lug upgrade is one of the most important mods one can do to our cars.

EP's are one of the most "underbraked" cars I've ever driven.

Is it possible to fit a big brake kit under 15/16" wheels w/o going to a 5-lug 16" wheel setup?

Yea I have noticed the brakes on my EP3 are very mushy.

Do a Google search for Honda/Acura salvage yards too.

 

Im waiting for somebody to swap an entire DC5R suspension (Brembo's and all) onto an EP3. I dont care TOO much for looks. The EP3 has weak braking. IMO

Most aftermarket big brake kits that offer 12 inch rotors require just a 17" wheel or bigger. Not a lug pattern.

I would check the local junk yards for parts.

The Type S has bigger <u>front</u> brakes than the ITR. The EP3 has smaller front brakes than the ITR.

How does this affect ABS?</TD></TR></TABLE>

when you say size, are you referring to the rotor size? the sizes of the master cylinders and the caliper pistons are also part of the equation for determining brake torque -- there may be more actually changing than is first apparent.

as for abs, it's still triggered by the wheel speed sensor, so it should operate okay.
