Hey, Im just wondering why people have itr 5-lug conversions? is it becasue they look nicer? or beter suspension? or...?

 

oh no.

 

itr, kno wat that stands for? integra type r

 

yes i do

 

beacuse you can use the ITR brakes which are HUGE compared to stock civic ones. Plus if you have a b series swap, you need the integra springs rates so ur suspension will handle the added weight. And maybe cuz it looks siick!

 

if i had the money, i would do the conversion. type-r 0wnz!

 

brakes are better

all suspension bushings are stiff/stiffer than aftermarket poly units w/o the noise

they're newer and in better shape than most civic pieces

it looks neat

EK owners can sell the shocks and LCAs and even the heavy ITR wheels and thereby have a cheap break upgrade

etc etc..


i know "wat" itr means

 

I love seeing civic with the 5 lug conversion...but sometimes I'm not too big of a fan for it. I mean, it looks super dope, and how tight would it be to have a 94 civic HB with Mf10's!?...but, the much bigger rotors make for more circulating mass, which lets you put less power to the ground...but I guess it depends on what you're doing. Don't get me wrong, I would love to go all ITR suspension if I had the money...but there are the downsides to it.

 

simple.........Bling Bling factor.

Someone who owns a 5 lug on a hatch summed it up perfect on
this board (can't remember who said it)

75% looks
25% braking

 

Thanks for all the info guys!
now i got my mind stright

 

That would be Jonas

Its not all simple "bling bling factor." I did 5lug conversion on my GSR. It improves your brakes significantly. It also pushes out each wheel about 3mm. This gives it a wider wheel base for better handling characteristics.

 

is there any websites out there that have step by step intructions how to swap the itr 5-lugs in to a 92 civic?

 

IM Blue-Civic-Hybrid

His car is tops, y0!

 

really???????

 

so how much they usually goes for? I have no idea how much they should sell for since I am helping my friend to get rid of his entire 5-lug conversion with stock R dampers and springs and white R rims adn tires, can you guys give me some idea how much they should go? thx

 

1000-1200 with out rims 1200 - 1600 the most with rims. i was going to get the 5 lug for my hatch but gsr suspetion is good enough for me

 

yes. ever wonder why people like itr top shock hats so much?

 

is it an easy conversion to do? on a 92 civic?

 

Easy, it can all be done with hand tools. I did mine with a simple socket set, and some wrenches.

 

Here is my 5-lug for an example..I did it all myself, took about a day to bolt everything up (cause i had power tools)..the hardest part about the swap is upgrading your master cylinder( from a 95 GSR) and proportioning valve(4040) and rebending and cutting and re-flaring 1 brake hard line...other than that it's piece of cake!!

first is a pic of stock DX Civic coupe brakes..very puny..will not stop a B-series


a pic of me and what was left of the puny disc brake removal..


a pic of the big brake put on with SS lines..


a pic of my buddy with power tools and a spare garage to work to let me work on my car...



and the finished product!!!

 

you guys forgot to mention that, you can get wheels alot wider in 5 lug then 4 lug.

HANDLING!!!!!!!!

 

that is an AWESOME looking coupe!!

 

I stop on a dime NOW! big difference from the GSRs. And they look a lil. nicer

 

 

Waste of money IMO. A Brembo upgrade did just fine for me.
