Crx to Type R 5 lug?
I did see this: http://battlecat.8m.com/ITR%205%20lug%20on%20DA.htm
I was wondering if anyone has any other information on this topic. I will soon be buying a crx. My fist mod (I'm thinking) will be type R 5 lug, caliper, rotor, etc. Is there a better alternatives? How are gsr breaks on a crx? I know crx's do not have ABS when type R or gsr calipers are switched over what else may need to be done to have the ABS work?

Re: Crx to Type R 5 lug? (slowassR)
I've seen 5 lug on a Crx once. I know they had to do a lot to get it to work. It's been years since I've seen the image, but I know it's out there...if you search hard enough.
As for actually doing it, it's a waste of money, imo. You can get a Fastbrakes kit for cheaper.
Although you won't be 5 lug y0, you'll prolly stop better. And that's the point, right?

2nd, you'll want to of course, upgrade the master cylinder (MC) + booster to that of a 1" MC/booster from any integra model that has that size.
Lastly, to convert any EF or DA to 5 lug, you'll have to buy Type-R hubs and have them machined to fit an EF or DA knuckle assembly for the fronts. For the rears, you can just bolt up ITR rear trailing arms. Here's an article a homie wrote up on his 5 lug conversion for DA..

PS: if you go SiR or EX knuckle the ITR caliper will boltup to the knuckle.

First of all, when you get your CRX, you'll have to get either EF8/9 SiR or US 90-91 EX sedan front wheel knuckle/hub assembly's. Those by themselves have the same rotor size as 94+ Integra brakes and will bolt right up no problem....and you won't have any wheel alignment/camber/caster issues as if you would try to apply 90-93 integra hub/knuckle assemblies on a 88-91 civic/crx.
