Trying to find out if its been done and which parts they used. Any info would be of great assistance.

 

i think its been looked into by a few on here...but never been attemped.

 

1st gen Odyssey parts, I believe. The only issue is that the Odyssey's parking brake is used on the front calipers and not the rear like ours, thus you'll have to find a way to hook up your parking brake line to the rear calipers.

 

can anyone confirm this?

 

u serious?? all u need is 1st gen odyssey parts and thats it??? bolt right into the 5th gens??

 

Basically, yeah. Misa told me, I'll double check with him to be sure.

AFAIK you need the wheel bearing, hug, rotor, caliper, and pads.

 

Has anyone here actually done it?

 

I'm going to as soon as I locate all the parts. I'll be sure to post pics and a write-up when it happens.

 

cool! cant waitfor that!!

 

but why the 1st gen odyssey??

 

Yes, it's the 1st gen (95-97) Odyssey parts.

The lug pattern is 114.3x5, the same as the 5th gen Prelude. My plans are to do the Odyssey hub/lug/brake conversion and use 16" Prelude rims with the same bolt pattern, thus keeping the car all Honda and making it more of a sleeper.

Misa suggests attempting to use the Accord rear caliper in order to keep the flange for the parking brake cable.

 

The parts fit. 'Nuff said.

 

is it hub over rotor or rotor over hub?

 

Rotor over hub.

 

so wait...the front wheels are gonna be 5 lug and the rears 4 lug?

 

ok so is this what you are going to use? Front odyssey hubs and calipers and rear calipers and hub? What about the rear trailer arm?

No, I said Accord caliper, not rotor.

 

ttt

 

ok! so how would u go abouts getting the rear into disc with the 5lug??
accord caliper from a 5th gen??

 

I'm not sure I follow...

 

ok! if u have the 5lug up front, then u'll want the 5lug in the back right?
so how do u go abouts doing that?

or did u mean u have the 5lug up front and keeping it 4lug in the back?

 

When I said you need the hub, bearing, caliper and rotor, I meant front AND rear from the 1st gen Odyssey.

However, it was suggested that the rear Accord caliper may work, so we can keep the flange for the parking brake cable.

Who runs 5-lug front 4-lug rear?

 

doesnt the odyssey have rear drums??

or thats why meant we could get a typeR rear disc and use the stock accord rear callper then?

 

No, the Odyssey has rear disc, look at the pictures G-MO posted.

Also, why would you want to use brakes from a smaller, lighter car that doesn't need as much stopping power?
