Tech: Type R 5 lug conversion complete *pics* + How to
Hey guys, my 5 lug conversion is complete! still got the ITR booster and brake cylinder to go and also to get all the ITR sway bars but thats another story, breaking is amazing. and yet it still has so much more potential. definitely worth it in my book! well here is the finished product. btw the howto is now complete as well.

Someone help me to realize, whats the point of spending $1500. for an extra lug, and some stock brakes? Fastbrakes kit and some others are much cheaper, and weigh less. Is it also the look that gets people or what? Im not hating or anything Im just wanting to know money wise why?

Ya you know how to make writing bold, now work on your reading.

Mmmmm,....Bold
this is why:
does the guy down the road with this 'jdm hatch' have 5 lug?
does the guy that one first place at that show last weekend have 5 lug?
building cars (for me) is an expression of my individualism, each car is a different signature.
5 lug is him.
maybe you prefer APC decals...
ooh, sorry that was low...

Re: Tech: Type R 5 lug conversion complete *pics* + How to (SpoonSportsEH2)
this is my reason.
im going for ..
1) Looks
2) Front Upgrade
3) Rear upgrade
4) Suspension upgrade
5) Bragging rights
my main concern was something about the rear, i cannot stand drums so having 10" rear discs definitely makes my day! any more questions?
thanks for the comments guys!!

Nobody is debating this is a good upgrade over stock...It's just that you can get much better for the same, or similar price. And for the record...I think it looks nice, and will get the job done. I'm not knocking that fact.

for your install, but i dont know why you didnt clean the brakes instead of leaving it rusted.

so you did an itr brake swap, but didnt bother to upgrade to itr rear lca's or even add a swaybar? I wanted to do the itr brake swap, but when I found out that the 11" wilwood 4 piston actually weighs less than the stock cx brakes, the answer was obvious.

so your're going to use the ITR LCAs you got with the swap for the rear swaybar and stuff? going to be getting new struts for the back also? I'm in the process of doing the rear sway with itr lcas this weekend hopefully.
