Re: 5 lug conversion
Unless you want to use ITR wheels/brakes, it's fairly useless. It's not like you have to worry about studs breaking with 4 lug, unless you don't torque your wheels down correctly or something. But if your hardware is crappy or not torqued correctly on a 5 lug, you'll have the same problems.

Re: 5 lug conversion
Some of you guys didnt catch the point. I ALREADY have all the brake setup from a crv, so the only money spent would be getting them on... Im not gunna lie, I want it purely for looks, and the gunmetal itrs.

Honda-Tech is your source for visual JDM madness upgrades. Not many people care about "upgrades" here that don't make the car perform better, but yes I do see your point about already having the parts.

Re: 5 lug conversion
If im driving down the road with my music cranked I cant hear ----. The car felt like it droped in the front so I slowed down to pull over... but it was to late rite after the 2 snaped the last snapped and it was over. but it was cool, I fell on the dust guard ----, so the only damage was a warped rotor and 1 nut got filled down so bad it fused itself together, so i left it alone. i mean its strogner now than before lol.

Re: 5 lug conversion
No i am now tho, apperently the rims Im using needed aftermarket lugs.... So i was rockin my stock honda lugs thinking its cool, but obvously not. I had to have the lug style that goes inside the rim itself, like a lip on the tip of the lug.
