The process is a simple unbolt and bolt on deal. Use the above link, but buy a 98-01 1" Integra master cylinder, instead of a 15/16" MC (for EGs).

The 98 spec JDM spline is 36mm. The USDM ITR is 32mm, which will work with d-series axles.

JDM ITR 5-lug is 36mm
JDM CTR 5-lug is 32mm
USDM ITR 5-lug is 32mm

And it really isn't that hard. I did it on my LS.

If you need bigger outers on your axles you can order some from raxles, gator, etc.

JDM ITR 5-lug is 36mm..i try to measure the hub...its way smaller than that.

you could order new axles from raxles or gator.

If you want to swap out the outers yourself then get some RSX outers(maybe crv will work as well but im not sure).

I can't remember exactly how much I paid but I ordered new axles with 36mm outers from raxles for around 300-400 with a core exchange.

The 1" MC is only necessary for an ABS system. Even though the Type R calipers are bigger, the actual pistons inside is still the same size as any standard GSR, LS or RS. This means a 15/16" master cylinder is the right size for a NON ABS system (like the NON-ABS RS Integras). The reason it's smaller is to provide better modulation for the driver. If the MC is too big, it becomes too easy to lock up the wheels, hence the reason it's found on the ABS cars...

werd!!! this man speaks the truth, I've actually purchased a (JDM) type r MC that was 15/16 a while back. For the longest time i thought i got scammed, but some (jdm) type r's did come without ABS.
