Type R

Hey i got a 92 integra which you all know is a 4 lug/ I had like a thought but wasnt to sure if it would be possible to convert my 4 lug suspension to a type r 5 lug suspension. And if it is worth it in the end and if its possible get at me.

yes it is possible i have seen it done on a civic hatch not sure what year though

why would you want to do that?

It is an expensive proposition that you have. First you need to find a complete set of type r suspension. Anywhere from $1000 to $2000. You might also need to upgrade your brake master cylinder to support the larger diameter rotors and stuff. Anyways, check out this website

Anyways, the reason that you would need 5 lug conversion is if you have a built motor with anything above 250 or so ft.lb of torque. That extra lug keeps the wheel from shearing off... Although you do get a better brake set up, it can be accomplished with pads, rotors or big brake kits. Anyways, I guess it could be cool to show off 5 lug rims on a 4 lug car. But is it worth it? You be the judge.

P.S. Too bad most of the imports went with lug nuts on the spindle. Old US cars had lugs on the rotor, so you can just change rotors if you wanted to...

In my opinion its definitely not worth the money.

:iagree:

Not worth it at all. You have good brakes as it is. If you did change them, you would not need a type-r master cylinder. And 4 lugs is holding up just fine on drag cars with well over 250 torque. You are fine, use your money for something to make you faster.
