Not sure about the dc5r gear...
DC2R stuff is definitely ok.

But next time, put a little more thought into your thread title as most people would've read your old heading "Conversion" and would've groaned thinking it would be a repost topic :)

Have you upgraded engine performance?
Why do you want a 5-lug.

5-Lug upgrade is quiet expensive. Will cost you over $1k unless you are very lucky and find the gear cheap..

Your stock brakes will be more than adequate for your stock EK. Unless you have other plans for it?

There are cheaper ways to upgrade the brakes, 5-Lug is baller though lol.

nar they wont fit.

i think the rear lca is diff from the DC5R as where it bolts up to the brakes trailing arm etc..

and im sure the driveshaft set up for the K and B series are different.. so the front brakes wouldnt fit.

thats just thinking in my head. but i can be wrong

only the dc5r brake booster and mc will fit your ek. Nothing else will fit from the brake components of a dc5r

The B-series has a 32mm hub whilst the K-series has a 36mm

So your axles wouldn't fit either, you are right.

The JDM 98+ ITR had a 36mm hub aswell so be aware of that one.
