you can get better rims ...

really i dont see any disadvantages to a 5 bolt and 4 bolt...

Considering SiR's and GSR's have 4 bolt.... and they have a few more horsies under the hood and the Type R has 5 bolt but the same chasis

I also cant see any structural difference... but if you do.. just convert the WHOLE system with the RSX 5 bolt and get the FRONT and REAR DISC's

you can do a 4 bolt rear disc.. look for a rear end of an SiR (EP3) or and EL (01 +) they all have 4 bolt rear disc...

you can definately do a 4 bolt rear dicc... easier that you think .. ask AznSaint... he knows were to find the parts you need!!

well if u only want to have more selection of rims (5 bolts) then u can buy those adapters to convert from 4x100 to 5x100 (late vw pattern)
or 4x100 to 5x112 (audi pattern)
or 4x100 to 5x130 (porsche pattern)

cause a mechanic told me that changing to 5 bolt will handle better..
cause he had a sir 99-00 and it comes with 4 disc and 4 bolt but he change to type r 5 bolt and he said handling was better...

hey gusto how did u feel like after u change to 5 bolt? is the handling
the same or better? and also what else do u find it better?

Are you guys on crack? Where did you get this idea that 1 extra bolt on the wheel would make your car handle better??

Maybe your mechanic buddy noticed the car handled better after the conversion because he got larger rims and better tires.... not because he got one extra bolt per wheel

If that's the case... then can we say cars with a 4 bolt pattern are faster because they have one less bolt which saves weight? lease: You know... less rotational mass = quicker acceleration.

I got a great idea... I'm gonna convert my wheels to a Single bolt pattern... that way I'm lighter and faster.

only advantage of a 5 bolt is that you can use the type R rims ...
