Rear Hub JDM vs USDM

Anyone know if they are different. I was under the assumption that the rear hubs are the same.

My Problem is that I bought a camber kit (Aeroover/K-factory) which replaces the rear hubs and the damn things don't fit. I am guessing I got the wrong part. Everything says its for a GD1/GD3. I've got a 2007 USDM.

Any help would be appreciated.

I've personally never put my Aerover camber kit on so I don't know but I do know that there are different drive trains for the GDs in Japan. You possibly got one for the 4WD fit

Def not the 4WD one I got. It's just a hub, nowhere for a drivetrain to hook up. I didn't even know there was a 4WD fit. That sounds awesome.

ANyways, thanks for the response Travis. Just wondering if the JDm and the USDM are different. That's got to be the case or I just got the wrong part shipped to me.

Can anyone else shed some light on this?

Bad news.

Well. I asked Felixy69 if he had problems. I know he had the same camber kit and he says he was never able to put it on. The JDM and USDM rear axels are different. This explains why the spindle didn't line up and I was unable to bolt it up.

Travis- looks like if you ever find that kit in your garage, don't bother.

The only way we will get that kit on is if we swap our rear axels for a JDM one. And then who knows if everything will bolt right up.

I don't understand why they make different versions. You'd think it would be more cost effective for Honda to just make one rear axel for USDM or JDM.

sucks ass.

JDM ones have options between rear disc brakes complete with ABS, EBD.. and there are those with drum brakes. Maybe you bought one for the disc brake? I dunno... What a shame...
