Guys,
This is using Australian delivered Honda parts- The v6 accord seems to have the exact same brake specs as the ITR and the Prelude VtiR.
I have recently up graded my stock 10.5 inch JDM SiR brakes for 11.1inch brakes off an Accord. The brake discs and callipers were the exact same as those of a type R integra. I just had to redrill discs and shave 1.4mm off the brake calliper mounts.
But I want MORE...
This weekend I an picking up a full set of 98-02 accord hubs and brakes to see if it is possible to do a swap by mix and matching components. Before I do it I am wondering if any one else has done the 4 to 5 stud swap without using ITR/CTR brake parts?
This is what I envisage
1 Hope against hope that accord and civic front knuckles will interchange with minor mods
2 Realise there is no way in F#*K the knuckles will interchange and press out the 5 stud accord hubs and try to press into the civic knuckles
3 Realise the bloody bearings are different sizes so find an appropriate bearing to suit, or machine out civic hub carrier to accept accord front wheel bearing
4 get it all together to realise I should have counted the friggin number of splines on the accord hub.
Rear
1 Try and mount the rear accord hubs and disc on the civic stub axles,
2 Realise the civic stubs are too small and pull out the stub axles from accord and bolt into civic rear trailing arms (if I can find socket to suit those funky stub axle securing bolts)
3 Try and mount the accord rear callipers on the original civic spot (civic behind the hub accord in front of the hub like a prelude). I checked the part number of the prelude/accord rear caliper and it was the same as ITR rear calipers.
4 Swap calipers from side to side.
Anyone care to add a few steps or let me know that some won't be necessary?
Ie does the Prelude/Accord and ITR share same no of splines on the outer CVs?
