    Rear 5 lug and disk conversion. confusion

    Ok. Im sure this has been coverd but i cant put the pieces together. I want to do the 5 lug swap and the disk swap at the same time. I know i can use the 02 tl assembly, knuckle/rotors/calipers for the front. But the back.. Im not sure how to just do the whole swap. Is there a car i cant just take the knuckle from? Or what? Please help. I want the 5lug bad. Thanx guys.


    Oh yeah. HOW do i get pics on with my post??

        Well I am not sure its the proper/easiest way to do the rear disk conversion, but remove the entire rear suspension and replace it with the suspension from an Accord that had rear disk. Then swap the hub with a prelude hub and use the prelude nut. I think you have to switch over to a GSR rotor but otherwise keep the stock Accord caliper.

          you switch to type r rotors. I tried using the type r but they did not fit the hubs i had, some member are using type r though. I ended up just getting 01 accord v6 rotors (front and rear)

              any 92 or 93 that has rear disc's. its easier to pull the whole rear subframe with the sway bar attached. then swap out the the accord hub for the prelude hub. and make sure you pull the e-brake cable from the donor car. auto's and 5spd's have different e-brake cables.

              goodluck.

                Oh. I didnt know about taking the sub frame. Is that because its less bolts to get all those parts? Or do you need them? I thought the knuckes were just swapped. I havent done much with the rear end. I have an auto and plan to swap should i get one from an auto to match my car, not my tranny... None of this was in the forums i read.
                Thanks

                  DO NOT. I repeat DO NOT get the rear disk setup from a wagon. subframe and control arms are ok but NOT the REAR DISK SWAP if you want to do five lug. it has been gone over a few times but something with the bearings and 5 lug hubs wont work. just pull everything from any 90-97 accord sedan or coupe with rear disks and youll be fine.

                  also as stated get the proper ebrake cables to match your car.
                  and if you have a dx or lx with rear drums youll get an uprgrade by swaping out your rear subframe for the ex(disk) subframe. youll get a stock sway bar with it. its not much but its something.

                    Does it mean anything that its made in japan not america or canada?

                      its just easier to take the whole thing, then trying to take parts. and like ressurector said the wagons rear spindle is a different size. so dont get your rear disc from a wagon.

                        Ok. Thank you. I love this site. I have my game plan now. Im on my way to frankencar. Lol i never liked hondas till i bought this, and fell in love.
                        + a rear sway bar is a nice plus. I love hangin' the curves, hitting exits at highway speeds.
                        Any other useful tricks are welcome
