Im thinking of upgrading my 4g lude to NSX brakes. Anyway, I think it would be better to use an NSX rotor over a vtec rotor since it is a bit wider and I think would reduce warpage (sp?) alot. The issue is that the nsx is 5 lug and my lug is 4x114.3. Anyway, I am wondering if there is anyway to have the rotors redrilled to fiit the 4 lug. Anyone know? How much would it cost?

no one will drill the rotors to a 4 lug, it compromises the integrity of the rotor. same thing with wheels already drilled.

your only hope is maybe some machine shop monkey can make the rotor a composite rotor by replacing everything but the friction material. i dunno if thats even possible though.

good luck

In my magazine "Carboy"(from Japan). Thay are doing a conversion like this and they just took the 5 hole rotors and drilled holes and put them on, it worked fine. I don't think I would do it tho.

any monkey can drill holes. but this is interesting. i'd like to check out that mag....have a scanner?

Yeah, can you scan the magazine or is there anyway to get it online? Also is it in english? cause i speak no other languages.

I know anyone can drill holes it is just cool cause they are crazy in Japan. I can scan it, but it is in Japanese.

Wouldn't bigger brakes up front screw up the bias of the braking system? ie: making the front a whole bunch stonger then the backs causing them to lockup, or in certain cases, cause the ABS to kick in excessivly?

. . .your front brakes alredy control about 70% of braking force

Jordan_4WS

I asked that quetsion to Brady and Thekev (members who did the upgrade from the hondaprelude.com forum); and they said there is no problem since the front does so much of the breaking. I know you usually have to mainatin stock braking relationship between front and back; but they said this would not work well on a lude since so much of the braking is done in front.

Keep in mind that CarBoy also rolls fenders with baseball bats. If they knew what curb feelers were, they would probably use those, too.

Drilling those holes off-center could seriously f*ck up your car. The last thing you want is a caliper to sieze when you're braking hard at 80mph. Not to mention if it's off, your wheel balance will be off and your braking compromised.

A good machine shop could do it, but unless you work in one you would be better off buying the 5th gen hubs. 5th gen wheels are cheap, too (I have a set I can't f'ing give away), so there's no reason not to do it. Having the holes drilled right will cost you as much, doing it yourself will insure a costly accident, maybe a deadly one.

Hey,
Will the 5th gen hubs fit right onto the 4th gen? Or do you have to change knukles as well?
