RSX 5 lug conversion with rear disks

ok, im trying to figure out what i would need to do this swap

im gonna need rear disks, and calipers, with the brake distribution adjuster from the acura EL

the front and rear spindles for 5 lug

am i missing anything? i dont really have plans for a k20 swap, so the smaller the parts list, the better

Sounds like a pretty serious job, but if you figure it out and have success, pleeeease make a DIY. This is something I would be very interested in as I am not a fan of our stock break setup.

i know you don't want to hear this. but when i was in the process of doing my swap, i first tried it while piecing it together, wasn't fun cause i had to mix and match. it's a lot easier, and it bolts right up, to just get the whole rsx suspension....rides a lot nicer too! that will cost you from 800 dollars down....unless you were to get the dc5-r suspension...

But you would need different rims anyways... they're 5 lugs. But yes, 16 is the minimum.

you can keep the 4 lug, and do a rear disc conversion. Its been done. Less than $600. Do a search, im sure you can find all the info you need about that swap.
