Default 5 lug hub on 4 Lug spindle (rear)

Like the title says whats your thought about this?? I was reading a thread on Honda-Tech and there was a guy that did it and he used a mazda axle nut in order to hold the hub on. What im thinking is that i could just use the 5 lug hub on my SI trailing arms, to save me some money from having to buy Type R trailing arms. Here is the link to the thread. http://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1978033&page=1 I cant get the pics to open at work, (stupid filter) So if you could host the pics on HAN's server that would be great. Thanks

so I just read through the entire thing. Sounds simple enough, and I have an extra set of TSX rims sitting around. I get mad discount through work. I think I will start collecting parts here and there, then get this setup done in the spring. I already am doing the GSR rear disk conversion. I also have the GSR fronts sittin in the garage but my winter rims won't fit over them so they are spring as well. Mite as well mod them into 5 lug.

the part i dont like is that fact that the spindle wont support the hub fully and the fact that you have to spot weld the nut onto spindle. I called up my acura dealer and i can get 2 new Type R arms for 375. so i might just go that route.

Can you run regular LCA's on the Type R arms? If so, that mite be more of an option. The fronts are a no brainer though.

you can run any lower control arm. Either the EG or DC. the way i see is that 375 for brand new trailing arms is damn good. For the front im going with Fast brakes 11.2 4 pot wilwood kit. its 725. The best part i dont have to buy a new front knuckle, seeing that i only have the 9.5 fronts now.

I thought that kit only worked on the 10.2 knuckles :thinking:

this kit is for the 9.5 knuckle. the only thing i going to do is ask them to put 5 lug rotors in instead of the 4. Here it is http://fastbrakes.com/shop/product_i...roducts_id=175
