are there any 5x114.3 brakes that will bolt onto my ef, or is there alot of work to be done

afaik you can use the knuckle off a CTR or ITR ( both 5x114.3) with no major issues. Reuse your upper and lower control arm and all is good.

sweet.

i always assumed that only worked on EG/EK.

osm if it works for efs

however, my rear is drum, if i wanna go to disc, i need new trailing arm, will teh ctr/itr trailing arm fit my ef?

the above i dot think so. Its similar design but might be different length/dimensions.
Best to grab the rear arms of a EFI ED such as the CRX

cool as

ill need to do that too, as it seems like my left side trailing arm or LCA is stuffed

its measuring at about 4mm toe out, where the right side is at a relativley normal 1mm

EG/DC2 trailing arm is the same so that will work.

Front knuckles are the issue. EG/DC2 etc arms are a different shape to EF ones, on my car im running 96 spec front knuckles and they add more than 1 positive camber. Also they hit my skunk2, or any other, camber kit so I need to modify it to get any decent camber.

PM me for more info or have a look on honda-tech as the us boys must have some way of getting around the issue.
