POOR MANS 5 lug conversion

[JDMDC2GSR]

Want to know what's needed for a 5 lug conversion on a dc2 gsr still using trailing arms.

[jdmdikk]

Most people say that it will cost the same or more then buying real type r suspension and that it's a waste of time. Plus it's not as safe.you can google your answer and find plenty of answers on what's needed to piece your own setup together

no Machine shop will do it in ct maybe out of state ull find a true puerto rican thatll do it for u lol if u talking about redrilling ur stock hubs

Hmu I know someone

Lol no he means using his existing suspension nd putting new hubs/prelude junk on his dc2 I have researched the shit out of this subject its easier nd just all around better to just buy the 5lug conversion who wants to go to a autoparts store nd say I need prelude wait itr wait crv rotors nd pads its better to have all the same components some r smaller (prelude) compared to crv nd jdm/usdm itr u can use ur gsr rear calipers if u go the prelude route

[SeanJDMJohn]

Basically anything u need to kno there is a write up on Honda tech I'm sure I just summed it up get prelude rear hub assembly nd front press em in u can use ur gsr rear calipers nd mounting brackets as for the front u need the prelude front hub wheel bearing assembly nd press that into ur dc2 front knuckle prelude front rotor nd ur gsr front calipers might or might not fit I'm not sure on that but prelude got to be better seeing how its bigger lol

[JDMDC2GSR]

I read something about crv front knuckles and all other components and for the rear rsx type s hub, rotor, bracket, calipers. Just wanted to see if someone out there has done it. Don't want to do it unsafe or cheap, rather get the real shit if no one can show proof of it being done with these parts.

Who got one for sale?

USDM FIVE LUG CONVERSION??

U must have read the thread on k20.org lol. U can use Crv front spindles/knuckles (hub/rotors/caliper,etc) they are basically the same as jdm Itr spindles/knuckles. they are perfect for k series axles.or u can use 36mm outer axle section and place it onto your 32mm axle

@jdmdikk only dude i would take advice from.

All the info on what is usable is all over the net. I was simply sharing info with the op to help him out. I myself would have done my own poor man type r 5 lug if my car had rear disk trailing arms already but it doesn't. So I would spend more at the end I would assume.
