Re: 5lug without a k-swap and with out custom axles!
Did anyone ever explain why someone would want to spend all this money only to add copious amount of unsprung weight? Modifications like this are exactly why people flame on Civic drivers, and why I'm honestly ashamed to tell people I drive a modified Civic. I'm associated with this kind of bestiality.

stop being a prude. people do it because it LOOKS GOOD. and im sure if you drive a "modified" civic you have at least a few frivolous mods that add weight to your car. but you have them because it LOOKS GOOD. get the point?

That's not what I was talking about... I was talking about swapping parts for the sole purpose of having 5 lugs. Not brakes, not an engine. Those have obvious advantages.
I'm not sure you have any leg to stand on calling me a ricer, but thanks.
Under no circumstances shalt thou hurt another member's feelings. That's the motto of this site, isn't it?

Did you fail middle school english? Come on. It's called guilty by association.
But whatev, we don't need to argue about this. I think it's dumb, you think it's awesome. Let's move on.
Re: 5lug without a k-swap and with out custom axles!
the base rsx/si 5 lug hubs will spline to the civic axels just fine, but you need to use the stock sensors to keep the abs functioning correctly
