New Si discs

So, who knows if we can get the brakes from the new Si so we can get all wheel disc and 5 lug conversion at the same time?

And I think those rims kick ***. What's a rim that looks similar to those?

--2004 si's are 5 lug


it sounds like he is asking if the rotors are awappable, and if so could y'all could make a coversion out of it so that your civics have 5 lugs like form an rsx to an SI where you swap the entire brake/rotor assembly, but I think he worded it incorrectly.



but regarding your question:

I have not been here enough but there is a guy with a red civic and he has the 5lug conversion, i dont know him nor his username but im sure someone will hook you up, i hope.

On the othe hand you may want to look into getting the parts you need for a 5 lug conversion from a base RSX, since parts for the 2004 civic SI will def be more expensive than a 2002-3 base RSX, and the wheels... well those are def. going to cost you a pretty penny.

I keep getting these noob responses to very valid questions and I've been here longer than the people who are telling me I'm a noob. The same thing happened to me when I asked about some subs which are now kicking *** in my trunk. But there are lots of things I don't know.

One thing I do happen to know is I saw the 5 lug on the Si as I was rubbing my ******* on the doorhandle. Some salesman came out to tell me to stop rumbling their building but instead told me to put on my pants.

And yeah I was asking about the spindles and rotors and that other stuff

ok. if u search their are about like what 1000000000x topics about this. Here is what u need:
Spindle
Brake Rotor
Brake caliper
Brake pads
4-lug hub
Brake line from caliper out
and again you can get them off a 02-03 Civic Si, because they are 4 lug pattern like ours. Any year after 03 or RSX rear is just waste if u are not doing a engine swap.

Ok, you can do the 5 lug conversion. You will need the entire setup for the backs and front. The major problem is going to be the fronts. you will have to custom fit the kunckles on so you can keep your 4 lug axles and have 5 lug wheels and brakes.

You guys need to take it easy on the guy. Just read his post carefully. Don't jump up and yell noob. I'm glad some of you guys answered his question. But I think it was a good point about buying the base RSX parts because the SI parts will probably be more expensive.

thanks to the people who tried to answered my real question. yeah, i did read in the other threads about the rsx conversion and some said something about custom axles (as mentioned by jodster) which i think would be expensive. that's why i was wondering if i could do it with the new si parts instead. i guess i'll just have to look and see how much it would cost for each method.

Well if you just want rear disc brakes all you need is the spindle out off of a 02-03 SI. And the e-brake cables. Everything bolts up.

You can not just swap the 04 SI 5 lug suspension without doing some custom work to your axles. Just keep it 4-lug and get the SI rear dics brakes.

To replace your brakes with those of an SI, use the entire hub out, including brake cables and lines for the rear. For the front, use the hub and the rotor (including lug nuts) for the front, brake lines should be the same. Rotors on the front are the same size so the calipers should work fine.

The only thing I am not sure of is if the front axle splines are the exact same. But Honda rarely changes things like that between different variations.

And this is a pretty valid question, since no one has wanted to convert over to 5 lug and use the front hubs.
