You know, the little red link at the top of the forum labeled <FONT COLOR="red">Search</FONT> works wonders for common questions like this.

What the heck are hub brakes? Are those better than the Flintstone style brakes I've been using?

Hub = drums.

Just depends on what part of the country you are from.

That's 5-lug, though. You'd need different wheels to match them. Not to mention, you'd have 4-lug up front still.

Very true, but I was considering the topic at hand. Kind of odd to see a 5-bolt rear setup on a car with 4-bolts up front.

5 bolt out back with 4 lug up front would be sexy, i wanna do it.

I just dont want to have 2 extra RSX wheels lieng around:p

17" Gunmetal RSX wheels out back, with like 15x8 with 225 rubber up front, look like a race car all day long

Who said you can't use the EP3 front calipers? The RSX's I could understand, but the EP3's should be fine.
