I looked around and didn't find too much of anything. I just bought a 89 DX Civic. I was looking at putting a 5 lug setup on the car. What would be required to complete this setup?

For the front i don't think too much is needed

But the rear is what i am worried about. Has anyone done this setup before? And if so what all do i need to complete this.

 

i know someone on here has done a nice 5 lug conversion on his EF...w/a nsx brake set up...and another memeber has done a 5 lug conversion on his crx w/a spoon brake set up....there on here somewhere with pics as well

 

i'm lookin at doing the 5 lug set up with Spoon Calipers and the JDM 16" ITR rims. I hope someone knows what is needed for this

 

thats what im saying someone has done that on here...do a search you'll deff find it

 

I know the rear is pretty much a straight swap! heh

 

i did a search and found like nothing.......i guess i'll keep searchin

DOH, keep forgetting to click the Archived content thanks alot.

Next question i got on tap is D16A6 Turbo Setups? What kind of number can people put down with a decent A6 Turbo Setup?

 

Get your hands on a integ TYPE R. Take everything off of it and put it on yours. Thats what i did i drive a 89 hatch and i got everything from a 96 gsr. But since TYPE R's are 5 lugs it a be an easy converstion cause everything bolts rite up like it did for me when i did it with the GSR. good luck

 

here you go

 

dayam...

 

An old pic of my car

 

is it worth installing it or is it too much of a hassle and really didn't help out too much?

 

Those white ITRs look like *** on a crx

 

I don't understand why some company just doesn't make hubs with 5 lugs that bolt up like stock. It would be so easy. Or why can't you just get stock hubs like redrilled for 5 lugs.

 

A ITR suspension swap is done for way more then just 5 lugs.

 

but would it really be that beneficial for the 1200-1500 dollars it would cost to do the whole swap, not to mention you then get into the issue of rims to choose from, most companies don't make a 5x114.3.

The more i am thinking about this the less i am getting motivated to do it

I disagree. I believe that is the same bolt pattern mostly all new Hondas and Acuras use, I think the RSX does use that and I doubt anyone out there is having trouble finding rims for their RSX.

Is that what the new RSX is running? I wasn't aware of that.

All honda 5 lug and most all other 5 lug cars are 114.3

 

I just didn't know that Honda switched over to the 5 lug on most of their new cars.

 

I was going to do this on my ef a while back... I have forgotten the parts that I need.

the rear bolts on no problems, just make sure you get DA brake cables if you have a EF hb. Also make sure your able to connect the brakes lines properly.

the FRONT... I belive you need 94+ outer tie rods arms and a good camber kit cause it will have positive camber.

just finding the stuff, then shelling out the money.

brakes help, if you race it. otherwise, on the street, my 9.5" brakes and 4 lugs work just as good as someone's 11" brakes with 5 lugs.

 

kinda off topic but worth a shot:

Teins SS on a ef hb...
when i do itr 5lug do i have to worry about anything with the ITR brakes not bolting up to my Tein SS made for the EF?

 

yes cause the rear control arm is different! i have a type r control arm on my hatch and works awsome same length and all!
