yes
it'll bolt right in.
I work at a dealer and have a pretty decent wholesale discount on parts and was thinking of slowly piecing together a 5 lug swap.
I work with Honda on a regular basis, but don't have as easy access to Acura parts.
Is it possible to change over the knuckles from an 04-05 to 02-03.
If not what exactly will I need to swap over?
If so what should I look at getting besides knuckles and hub and rotors?
i assume i will need
axles
knuckles (dust shield)
hub
rotors
calipers (pads)
anything i'm missing?
[QUOTE=tht1guy;982336]i assume i will need
axles - don't need. they're the same from 02-05
knuckles (dust shield) - make sure they come with the dust shield and ABS sensor
hub - should come with the knuckles
rotors - yes
calipers (pads) - yes
anything i'm missing? - nope
Because you're going EP3 to EP3 everything will bolt right up.
If you were to use RSX you would have needed more parts.
Not meaning to thread jack but why couldn't you press a 5 lug wheel bearing onto the stock 02-03 knuckle?
You aren't thread jacking. After reviewing the Honda OEM part numbers on the 4 lug and 5 lug front wheel bearings, I don't think it'll work. They have different part numbers. This leads me to beleive that the diameter of the hub shaft might be different.
Also, the part numbers on the rear knuckles are different and the rear hubs are different as well. I'm not 100% sure about swapping hubs only.
but honestly this wouldn't save much except the cost of the knuckles, you would still need new calipers and rotors.
list of part numbers?
I did RSX Type S on my 02 Si and I love it. so go with RSX TYPE S
You can do either the 02-05 DC5-S or the 05/06 DC5-S
02-04 DC5-S
Front:
Rotors,
Calipers,
Knuckles/Hub/Spindle,
ABS Lines unless you add a few washers to do the trick. :)
36MM Axles
Rear:
Any Year 04-05 Ep3,DC5,DC5-S Knuckles,hub,spindles. Bolts right up.
05-06 DC5-S
Front:
Rotors,
Calipers,
Knuckles/Hub/Spindle,
ABS Lines unless you add a few washers to do the trick. :)
36MM Axles
05-06 Front Lower Control Arms (A Arms)
Rear:
Any Year 04-05 Ep3,DC5,DC5-S Knuckles,hub,spindles. Bolts right up.
Correct me if Im Wrong.

Looks like just a few last parts to by just incase. Not sure if my swap is 02-04 or 05-06 (is there a way to check?)
