Ahh, 2 days, 1 broken breaker bar, a rusted axle/hub and many cuts and bruises later, everything works.

I've driven a few miles to run errands and everything seems perfect. No issues, no clearance problems, and I'm running 7 spoke accord wheels. So w/ gimpy doing this on a 4th gen and everythign looking fine for my 5th gen, it looks like it will work for all 90-97 accords (except v6 models)

I used 98-99 2.3 CL hubs, 3.0 CL rotors, 3.0 CL calipers, 5th gen accord wheel bearings.

-edit-
forgot to insert the 2.3 CL hubs, NOT 3.0 ones which will NOT work.

I know alot of peeps will be happy with that news.

How did you break the breaker bar? axle nut?

 

what size of rotors?? 11.1 or 11.8?

 

cl calipers work with the accord bracket?

 

are the 98-99 CL's 5-lug?

 

yep, axle nut broke it. I couldnt budge it so i slaped a 5 ft pipe over it, snapped it at the attachment.

rotors are 11.1" .I odnt know of any 4 lug 11.8" rotors, only the 5-lugs (RSX-S, CL-S, TL-S) seem to have them.

stock accord brakets will not work, they are designed for 10" rotors. Although many, many 11" brackets will work, or they area really the same (4th gen lude, believe 5th gen ludes should work, 2nd gen legends, 5th gen accord wagons/v6's, acura 3.0 CL's etc).

98-99 CL's are 4x114.3. TL's were 5 lugs. they switched to 5 lug in 2001 for hte CLs.

 

good job dood
