I'm curious, has anyone tried doing this with 4th gen prelude stuff?
The knuckles are identical, but use 4 lug stuff that matchs what's on our accords already... that way if you've got some 4lug rims you're in love with, you can still use them. Plus, you can use non-vtec prelude stuff and still use 14" steelies and get rotor over hub for easy brake work.

OK scratch my prior questions...
Will a BB6 front crossmember bolt up to our car?
Also, if so, would using a BB6 front crossmember, LCAs and obviously knuckles put the front wheels at a weird angle/placement?
LMK!!!

Yaw, you just should do the enlarging of the accord LCA with SPC upper ball joint camber kit or go odyssey...
I know typesbaby's bf bought the full bb6 front crossmember and LCAs. I am not sure what he did with it.

Just a heads up... when u go to get ur knuckles, the way to tell they're SH knuckles is that they have 2 LBJs.
However, all is not lost; if you get them for a good price the whole assembly is still useful.
Why?
BB6 base + SH bearings + hubs are the same. (Part # 30892)
BB4 knuckles accept BB6 hubs; in fact BB4 knuckles basically look the same as BB6 base knuckles (diff part #s, little differences like a balljoint cap on the BB4 knuckle & a knuckle "ring" on the BB4; might be on both though & just comes w/the BB6 knuckle)
BB6
BB4
Originally posted by warrickWell I finally got the 5 bolt done. I ended up having to press out the 5 bolt hubs and press them back into the 4 bolt knuckles. As for the back I ended up having to purchase the rear calipers from a 5th gen for them to bolt up.
So ya just a heads up for anyone else doing this conversion. I will post pics in a couple of days.

well in my process of doing this, I ended up with this tool:
same degree of taper as the prelude balljoint. I used the knuckles from a 99 prelude and used the tool to enlarge the LCA hole on my accord. It's a nice tight press fit like stock. Also, during my research, I ran across the part number for the bb6 lower ball joint : 51220-SL5-013. It's the same one they use on the later model Legends.Last edited by 90accords; 12-08-2008, 11:49 AM.
