Hey so I was searching up 5 stud conversions and got no where.
My question is if I was to do a 5 stud conversion on my ek4 using ITR parts, would i need to change trailing arms or control arms for front + rears? I have coilovers + asr bar for ek and not too sure if getting 5 stud would mean I need to change the coilovers and subframe :( HELP????

As long as you Get aud itr/ek9 5 stud everything is plug and play. your current rear Lca's will plug upto the new 5 stud step up.

Oh sweet, so everything from the lower control arms and back can be kept stock and everything onwards is the new dc2r 5 stud. Thanks for clearing that, many posts out there says I need to change the control arms and trailing arms to dc2 for it to work cause the stock ek suspension won't line up properly.

if you can get the rear control arms from the DC2R get it cause with the EK rear lower arms the bushes are smaller and the shocks will bolt up but will have a gap

If I get the dc2 lower control arms, would it still let me run my ek coilovers, ek sway bar, ek subframe? Balling on a budget so yea have to make the most out of what I have LOL

what is your ek ?

if it has abs you will need a ek lower control arms with abs lines
if yours doesnt have abs you can use yours
if your ek is drum you will need ek rear handbrake lines, as you will be struggling to fit dc brake lines

everything else is direct fit if yours is a ek4 using your parts above

I've got an ek4 rear disk brakes with ABS, hopefully everything goes on smoothly.

Me again guys, going to put in my 5 stud in a week or two and just wondering if i change the brake booster to dc2r would i need to change brake master cylinder and prop. valve or can I just use the one I have on the ek4?

I know its best if I change everything, but really would prefer if I dont :(
