You should be able to do it. might need the ex/si/gsr knuckles w/fast brakes mount.
Front ITR rotors, pads and calipers are interchangable with front CRV same.

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.

the brakes will bolt to GSR/SI hubs...

If you want ITR Brakes, Just get Si or Teg Steering Knuckles, 94 Accord Wagon Calipers and 93 Prelude Rotors Re-Drilled. same as a type r for about 100-120 bones.

my stock crx si disks do pretty good, definately wouldnt spend money on a 5 lug conversion.....i'd work towards, maybe a bigger turbo?

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.

I'm calling bullshit about that all happening in one trip. 2 studs snapping at the same time should have made you stop to fix it before another lug broke or backed out and there is no reason for you to be driving still after the 3rd one broke. If you can't tell your wheel is about to fall off after all that, maybe you really do need to invest in a bigger break setup. :-\

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. ;)

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.

you must be using aftermarket lug nut?

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.
