2.5 and 3.2 Brakes

Is it harder to change rotors/pads on a 2.5TL or 3.2TL and would it be good to change the 2.5 4lug out to a 3.2 5lug, because its easier to find 20" rims for a 5lug?
LMK Thank You

I asked an acura dude how much id have to pay to convert my 4 lug to a 5 lug and he gave me an estimate of 600 bucks. This was like almost 7-8 yrs ago. Id settle for crappy looking 4 lugs

I don't have a 2.5, but I remember people saying the front rotors are pressed on or something like that. In short, they're tough to get off. The 3.2 brakes are quite easy to change front and rear.

You're not going to be getting the rotors off a 2.5 without a press or an unreasonable amount of muscle.

You could try a rotor over hub conversion on the 2.5 if you really wanted since they do this on the accord all the time, but you will probably be the first one to try so plan on spending money to find out what wheel hub fits. My personal guess would be the 2.3cl since it works on the 90-97 accords.

as for changing the rotors on the 2.5 there are a few ways to do it. Heres a few diy from another site:
