DC2R 96 spec 4x114.3 to DC2R 98 spec 5 x 114.3

[DrTran]

I am about to get my suspension powder coated and was wondering and came across a 96 spec 4x114.3 suspension for cheap. Right now what is on my car is the 98 USDM 5x114.3 suspension. Got a few questions for you guys hopefully you will have the answers.

Are the spindles the same?
Are the hub and hub bearings the same size?
Are the trailing arms the same?
Are the rotors the same size?

I am going to be breaking down all the parts and getting hubs and hub bearings and rotors anyways so I was just wondering if they were the same so I can try to save myself some down time. I have extra front calipers and and brackets since I changed over to spoon calipers. So changing out front calipers won't be a problem.

I was wondering if the hub sizes and bearings are all the same?

doubt it.

i'd say same part number as the pre-97 Aucra Integra's?

[DrTran]

The reason I believe it might be the same size is because all eg, ek, dc2 and db8 should share the same front hub bearing size. But not too sure on it.

[tinkerbell]

nup. not all the same.

(in Australia anyway's..)

I wonder where I could get the jdm part numbers.

so much hassle to go back to 4 stud
plus the cost of a set of 4 stud rims
worth it?

[DrTran]

4 stud to 5 stud actually is what I am trying to do. What I am trying to do is save myself downtime. It is worth it since I am replacing all the parts anyways after I get it powder coated so why not drive my car around while I have a set of suspension getting worked on.

rotor is not the same size, well at least the front isnt. trailing arm seems to be the same

[DrTran]

Rotors I can change I will have spares. I might have to buy it so I can experiment. I think my buddy might buy it if it doesn't work out my way so I guess I will have to do a write up soon.

front wheel bearings are the same as a regular dc2, i believe the dc2r's 5stud is larger?

rear wheel bearings seem to be unique too

[DrTran]

Ah I quit. It's probably not worth the time or effort. I don't think it will be cost effective after I buy those hubs.
