no. why would you not want to anyway? disc brakes are much easier to service. someone did swap the hub out to the 5 lug one and drilled holes in a 4 lug brake drum, but i would highly recommend not doing ghetto shit like that.

^pretty much.

Aside from opening your wheel options, having rear disc brakes is kinda the point of the swap.

So the inner diameter of the 4-lug is the same as the 5-lug ? So if i buy v6 bearings i can use crv or v6 lx drums

Pretty much is the shaft from the 4-lug the same as the 5-lug

Shaft is the same. Not sure about using those crv drums.

Seriously, don't try and swap 5 lug drums, you're really making it 2x as hard for yourself as it needs to be

all v6 accords were rear disc. it would honestly be much easier to do the disc swap than try to figure out how to keep a drum brake setup.

lol looks like you're Determined to keep the drum, any specific reason? I have both, drum and disc brakes on the rear. I NEVER USE the drum unless parked on a hill. Disc IS basically the reason to swap. Let me know, unless just trying to make the swap more affordable just buying hubs?

*Independent systems, so basically have disc brakes rear. Rear disc is the way to go imo.

Drums do park nice.

That's about it, but they don't do bad at much else.
