is it worth it?

[accord01coupe]

Ok here i am again.. anyways. Sup i was at work thinking since its been a very slow day. I have a 2001 accord coupe 4 cyl.. wich is 4 lug. I wana do a 5 lug conversion. I been reading around and printing a lot of forums for this conversion. The way i look at it the front ones can be changed to a V6 brake ie calipper etc etc. right? could i just go all out and change every brake to a V6 brake? front and rear? You may ask why do a 5 lug conversion? Well i already spent a lot on my car from shocks springs.. some one smashing my rear glass.. and so on.. 5 lug will open a door to a lot of options on rims for my car.. Well any thoughts? suggestions? I would really wana go OEM on everything.. and accessing a wrecked v6 will be easy to find.. or should i just get the wheel adapter? help im on a staged where in my mind cant stop thinking about it....

Spend your money else where. A marginally larger rim selection isn't worth the money/effort.

yea, its a pretty penny to do that, and really not worth it in my opinion. theirs a pretty good selection for 4 lug, just gotta look around. also, if you were to change all the brakes and such, youd need the brake master cylinder as well. just something to keep in mind.

hmmm im starting to get ur drift.. v6 calips are bigger than the 4cyl's right? then this conversion would be a brake uprgade too right? your replies are stuck on my head.. but it would not hurt to check around and see how much would it add up thanks again if any one else has something to say pls.. i need your opinions dont wana do something with out a second opinion.. thanks again

here you go, this is from v6performance.net, great site for info, theyve been around for a while, i think they used to be av6.net or com or something, but anyways, check this link, and read thru it a little, about 1/2 way down the first page, youll see a heading "stolen from another forum", read that one, its got prices with the stuff youd need. but yea, just read all that, its useful, pretty much.

is there a specific wheel you want that isn't offered in 4 lug?

because wheel selection for 4 lugs has changed a lot even in the last few years since I bought my first set. there's actually quite a few wheels out there for 4 lug now, it used to be a whole lot worse.

imo the swap isn't worth it, if you are looking for a brake upgrade that definitely isn't the most money-efficient way to go about upgrading your brakes.
