I have completed mine with the sickness... I have DC5 rims on my CB7Accord and it looks lovely.

Front Suspension:

parts list for the front:
95 odyssey knuckles
95 odyssey NEW bearings
95 odyssey hubs
95 odyssey Aftermarket cross drilled and slotted rotors
95 odyssey calipers or similar aka 97 prelude calipers with 25T brackets from Odessey.

At this time, I also upgraded to Steel Braided brake lines.

In caveat to doing the calipers, In one of the forums i read you can also do
S2K calipers...

Rear Suspension:

97-01 Honda Prelude NEW hubs and bearings
98 Integra Type R rotors cross drilled and slotted.

All this info is great, but not related to the thread topic. I know someone asked, but we are trying to get the All-Prelude way down. There is also another thread on using the odyssey parts.

I'm not hating, but by placing info in the correct thread, it is easier for someone to find it later when using the search feature of the site.

Do you still have the part number?

I found one on eBay and the other i got it from my local Napa at 75% off

I noticed in Busted LX's thread for the rears that the Prelude rotors won't work cause of the hat height

Is that still a problem if you have rear Prelude calipers as well

Prelude rear calipers wont work the accord rear trailing arms.

I made the prelude rotors work. i had a friend make me some spacers to move the caliper braket closer to the rotor.

you use your stock rear calipers

It is great that you have presented this option... and for those who have access to the parts cheap that's good. But on the norm... 5th gen Prelude parts from the junkyard are pretty costly, whereas Odyssey and 2nd gen Legend stuff is a dime a dozen. Atleast the parts we would need.

Alright so bringing back Jose's post...2nd gen Legend (91-95), will the front knuckles off those cars work on our cars for 5-lug conversion? Are they exactly the same as Odyssey knuckles? Just curious, want to see if anyone has any idea. Thanks in advance!

I am wondering that as well. So much so that I am thinking of picking up a Legend knuckle to compare w/a BB6 knuckle, as that would save so much $$$, being that Legend knuckles are a dime a dozen. Looking at Ebay pics and stuff, they seem like they could work. They even have the same LBJ as 4th gen Preludes.... only thing is, because they're Acuras, it's hard to compare part #s...

But that's really for another thread.

Legend knuckles are totally different.
Also, dont they have front trailing calipers?

Yes and yes. The steering linkage is at the front of those knuckles. Ours are at the rear.

Update:

I got the link for the Ball Joint Reamer:

xkut balljoint reamer

Thanks goes to 90accords.

Taken from the site:
"THIS TOOL CAN BE USED BY HAND WITH A TAP WRENCH OR SOCKET OR IN A DRILL PRESS OR VERTICAL MILL WITH A 1/2" OR LARGER DRILL CHUCK OR 1/2" COLLET. REMEMBER GUYS, THIS IS A REAMER NOT A DRILL! THE BASIC RULE OF THUMB IS TO RUN A REAMER AT HALF THE SPEED (RPM) AND TWICE THE FEED OF A DRILL."

nice reamer. pricey, yet perfect.

Whats the exact problem with the Prelude rotor setup.... is the caliper offset?

[djcaz_aom]

Yeah pricey. But a small price to pay for peace of mind.

plus the splines in the hub are a larger diameter, and I haven't found a honda/acura bearing that will accomodate a hub with the correct spline pattern for our cars, and believe me I looked. Best case scenario I think would be custom axels if you really had your mind set on using Legend knuckles.
