NO! Those kit's are for civic's & integra's. Yours is a lot simpler, just go to a junk yark & find a V6 accord(same body style as yours)take the parts needed. It's a waste of money if you ask me.

Re: 4 Lug to 5 Lug??????

Three reasons to switch to five lug.

1) Usually they come with bigger brakes, and there for better stopping power.

2) A choice of rims. I personally like the CTR rims, and when I find a conversion cheap, am going to do it. Right now I have Brakes from an Aerodeck 11" rotors, under some four lug ITRs. and the difference in braking is amazing.

3) To say, you have five lug where once you had four.

There are cheaper ways to do it, but you have to crossreference part numbers and come up with a group of parts that fits you car. The important part is finding a five lug hub bearing set that can pressinto you current, or easliy attainable knuckle/rear splindle.
