I have a 1996 Accord LX.

What do I need to convert the stock 4 lug rotors to 5 lug rotors?

Thank you.

 

5th Gen 5 Lug Swap and Brake Upgrade - Accordingly Done

 

I was told that I need 6th generation rotors---yet you say I need 5th generation rotors.

Which is it?

So whether it is 5th or 6th generation, the rotors are a direct bolt on?

But you also said something about the brakes...

Do I need to do something to the brakes also when I switch the rotors?

Thank you.

 

yes you need to do something about the brakes, you must change them.

The write-up gives all the info you need.

 

What write up?

I have missed something somewhere.

So my stock 1996 calipers will not work on the 5 lug rotors?

Why is that?

Aren't the rotors basically the same except for the number of lugs?

Thank you.

 

The write up in the link provided by G22cd5

It gives the list of parts needed, quite a lot of parts

 

this is the list of parts needed


95+ Honda Accord V6/92+ Honda Prelude VTEC Front Calipers (1L, 1R)

23T Caliper Brackets** (2)
95-98 Honda Odyssey/95-97 Honda Accord V6 Front Knuckles* (1L, 1R)
95-98 Honda Odyssey Front Wheel Bearings (2)
95-98 Honda Odyssey Front Hubs (2)

97+ Honda Prelude Rear Hub/Bearing Assemblies (2)
98+ Acura ITR/98+ Honda Accord V6 Rear Rotors (2)

20 lugnuts

 

go read the write up in that link I posted. All the info you need for this swap is there. and no it's not just as simple as the rotor. you need the 5 lug knuckle. ect ect ect

 

How do I know if I have the correct knuckles?

This is my 1st Honda and I can't believe that it is this complicated and involves this many parts just to change from 4 lugs to 5...

Thanks for all the help.
