Uh... i am talking about you racking 2500$ for that pointless 5 lug conversion, and sellling your **** rims for 500$ and get your self a Turbo kit.

understand now?

Think about things before you do them, because you can put your money into much better things.

oh.. ok. Shorry.

Well, if you go thru with this process, share some interesting info.

Will the parts you are going to get from a salvage yard? Obviously, you can get half or even more off from dealer prices. Also, tell us the results when you ever get this project thru.

thanks,

FRONT:
Complete bearing and hub assymbly: 200$ both sides
Rotors: 200$ both sides
REAR:
Complete bearing and hub assymbly: 200$ both sides
Rotors: 200$ both sides.

It may work with your existing front knuckle assembly and the rear. If not.. then all the knuckles front and back with complete components for the swap is about... $1500.

So if you are lucky.... only $800.
If not, and need to swap all knuckles.... $2300.

Might as well get yourself some 16" SSRs for under that price... and sell your SH rims.

Don't forget if your swapping in new larger vtec rotors you'll need new calipers too..for them to fit...so add another $250 to that price. You are also looking at about 6-7 hours off labor which is another $300..if your gonna do it yourself you'll needsome special tools too.....get the hint

Jose don't waste your time or money..from one boriqua to another..even if you don't wanna go turbo. That kinda cash is better spent on some Cams/cam gears and a VAFC..**** why not a port and polish too

uh... i didn't write that bottom half on the post right above this one.

but i forgot also... 5 lug rotors are VTEC rotors, which will need larger calipers.

Special tools require for pressing the hub into the bearings of the knuckle.
