I really like my Enkie mags I picked up for $50. Keep it old school but pick up braking performance. I want to keep it cheap too. I dont have the cash right now to do the all out 4x100 conversion plus 4 new tires, 4 wheels, slotted rotors, and on and on. Thanks for all the help.

Anyone have wagon knuckles for sale???

Kelly, Use the Wagon spindles/rotors/calipers on EB struts. This will allow bigger calipers/rotors, and still keep your 4x120.

No, they are for the 4x100 conversion. Why stick with the 4x120 stud pattern?

So if I get the adapters made, I would still keep 4x120? but be able to run larger accord/civic rotors and such? I am building the car for autoX.
Thanks

Don't use EN uprights unless you want to muck around with the geometry a lot to get it back to something resonable ... it's just not worth the trouble. Either find some wagon uprights if you are in the States or Canada or get some caliper adapter brackets from Anthony or I think Justin had some made at one time. Use the EN drive flanges and CVs but definitely use EB uprights.

Looking at the 1stgencivic site and Adrian EVOcivic says he used EN parts such as hubs, drivehshafts, uprights and soforth. Is this a route to go as far as a bigger brake upgrade? I was not trying to do the 4x100 conversion because I would like to keep my 13" Enkie mags. I just pulled the EJ crank, rods, and GJ tranny and saw his website. Wagon uprights are harder to find than EN/EJ parts. I would like to pick them up before they crush the car.
Thanks,
Kelly
