Is this a good deal

Hey guys some local guy said he can get me this

5 lug conversion from an RSX Type-S? It comes with the whole control arm fr and r and all the brakes connected to it. Hub and all. The only thing missing is axles. $650 obo. Also Type-S wheels and tires in very good condition.

i would still need the axles??

like i have read here and here

Re: Is this a good deal

I would too, just be mindful of the ABS issues folks have run into.

But then again, that's almost $1K (once you get the axles) that could be put towards a swap or boost.......just for different wheel options...... IDK. I know I'd be pretty tempted. Plus you could probably recoup some (if not most) of the money from selling your current wheels, tires, and those new brakes you recently put on.

Tough one Travis. I don't know, I guess I'd go for it.

yeah, that's the only thing that sucks. once you get axles you will have definitely spent 1000 bucks. but i'll just say this, i love having 4 wheel disc on my car and the RSX-S brakes and stuff. i don't have abs or anything but my car stops so well.

Na, All Day??

You'll be next Triz. I can feel it.

Back to topic. Travis, buy the setup. You can always flip it for more than you paid for it.

Maybe I should consider changing my sig to this.

N/A EM2 Crew Don’t jump on the turbo bandwagon!!! Go Naturally Aspirated Baby , and then jump off the wagon when you can afford boost!

Re: Is this a good deal

instead of paying $600 bucks just get a REAR disc brake conversion with 4 lugs ! invest the rest on something under the hood ;-)

$$ 4 $$ boost is less expensive tha N/A. N/A just to get 150whp you need about $3k worth of parts, you spend $3k on a turbo set up and you should be able to push around 200+
