Hey guys, I know this is probably been beat to death... I've been looking around google and the forums and even in person..

Talked to a couple guys and I'm getting mixed answers. I plan on running DC5 ITR rims on my 05 RSX-S, and eventually plan for DC5 ITR Brembo conversion.

I've been told that '05 and '06 can simply add on the brembo's with rotors, no problem. But I'm hearing that actually need to do the complete brembo conversion, what is the truth!?

Also, important! I do not want to run spacers!

If I do the brembo conversion then I need to get the LCAs, knuckles, and obviously the calipers and rotors.

I was told I need the axles too??

Probably would be best to do the complete conversion if you're going to do the swap. I think you'll need the caliper brackets from the Brembo's to make sure everything goes together right. I'm fairly certain that the axles are the same on the JDM car and the USDM car

You will need the whole swap. That includes axles, lowers lca, spindles, calipers, rotors, and sway bar. Because the lower control arm in the ITR is aluminum and the track width I wider so it pushes the spindles further out, which then makes the US axle too short and need the longer axles of the ITR. Also since the sway bar mounts are further apart the US sway won’t fit. If you run ITR sway you will run into clearance issues with the exhaust since both use different manifolds. You are better off getting the TL-S calipers with the bracket then run s2k rotors. It all should fit in 17 inch wheels since type r uses 17x7.5 I believe
