PreludeRacer023 · 04-05-2003, 02:01 AM

ok well im in the midst of fixing up my car, im getting a black leather intrior, did a 95 interior upgrade alerady, got the vtec EL guages, and made all my guages Blue, getting a JDM Climate control, new floor mats ect ect.getting it painted...and a kamanari kit, now i want to go with a 16" wheel, but i really like the SH wheels, and i think theyd look nice, on a 4th gen especially, ive looked it ove, and i think i can just swap the suspension over, like the upper A arm, knuckle,a nd just unhook the ball joint nut, thus getting the upper A arm knuckle and brakes all in one piece, i believe this shoudl just bolt right up, anyone know for sure, this would be upgrading my brakes as well, i have Si brakes, any thoughts on this, im very determined to do it..so i figured id ask you guys..peace

Have you tried using the "search" function on the forum but here is a link Who has 5-bolt lug convesrion?

nice, sounds like you did your research, if it doesnt cost like an insane amount of money, I would say do it.

I dont know much about this kind of swap but make the sure splines on the 4gen axle will go into the hub on the 5gen brakes.

yeah ill have to check the splines...and also, why does everyone always bring up the damn search?? jesus, this board is slow, at least this gives people something to respond too, my god...if your gonna post and say use the search dont bother posting

Hey,

Where did you get the new floor mats? I have been searching for a long time and haven't found a set yet. I would love to get my hands on a set of VTEC floor mats.

Thanks and good luck on the swap.

The splines are not a problem, I am using 98 vtec axles on my 96 H23. I was looking at this swap also. There is just a few more parts I need to complete it. Only I don't know what rims I am going with yet.

Right down the the NSX rotors!!! 5mm thicker, 2 pistons calipers... neato...
