yes but alot of work is required.

you may need to change the entire LCA's, Hubs, Sussy trailing arms, Sway bars and enlinks to suit, Driveshafts as one end will be for EK and the other end is DC5 ... not worth it for the money, might as well source for an DC2 5LUG conversion.

in short yes

Sorry can you highlight exactly how ?

Short answer is more no , as it's not financially viable and there are better more bolt on alternatives
Too :0)

Never tried it before but Im running Spoon S2000 caliper with 300mm PMU SCR PRO rotors on my EGK24A with custom brackets and I did machined the hub by few mm to clear the rotors .

can you run the DC5R/EP3R brakes on DC2R hubs with just custom mounting points/brackets. or is it more complicated...?


Sorry for thread jack.

no im not "KIDDING"

its been done but no DIY

check out post #5.

but it seems that people are keeping the DIY's to themselves rather than sharing the love.

once ive figured out on what is EXACTLY required, then imma write up a DIY

Its NOT an conversion, alot of time, money involved. but once someone has 101% done this with proven results/DIY then well know then.

but for now ..its all speculation.

Can you read? That guy swapped DC5R Brembo Calipers and Rotors onto an EK. Not entire LCA, hubs, suspension, trailing arms, swaybars and endlinks like you say.

i mentioned of those other things as supporting items that could possibly be required... who knows...

Only the pic shows the rotors and calipers .. and his wording of Custom & CTR caliper brackets is what he mentions..

saying that we dont know exactly what else he did to make it fit ..

he could of kept it secret to be original... etc etc..

so back to OP. YES it can be done. we just dont know how exactly .. ... LOL

lol at editing your post.

First you say you can do it (5 stud with DC5 setup) then now you say you don't know.
