I did my gs-r brake to 5lug brake swap in less than 5 hours. Front to back.

Take the heat sheilds down from the exhaust.
Do the rear first.

Replace the trailing arm bushings while you have it apart.

When putting the toe-arm back on, put it in the middle on the rear.

Have putting the ebrake cables on.

Can I buy your rear drums from the cx?

Invite some of your car friends over and get them to help. It's not hard, just time consuming. Also, PB blaster is your friend.

Before you send it to the junkyard or whatever, could I get some interior pieces from it? I got money :)

I also had a good friend who dedicated his day to helping me with my car.

You gotta find someone that you can work with, that won't mess up your ways of doing things.

Do I know you personally?

not personally....i was in the gray wrx the other day when u were driving towards norfolk....and i own the POS primer hatch ...the one ur friend was messing with in the rain going towards taco bell a while back

Re: Rear conversion

make sure you change the booster, master cylinder and the praportional valve so that the fluid pressure to the brakes is right.
