i will i was really up in the air about how i was going to do the swap until i found a couple posts elsewhere regarding the adapter bracket. until you start dropping real money on the engine itself and or boost civics aren't really that quick. so when i read the first post about the bolts and such breaking when your getting used trailing arms and your original bolts will probably break. then another post suggesting the drum trailing arm setup is actually lighter than the disc setup. it was claimed using an adapter your cutting down weight a little and everything counts.

Oh yea... bolts will be broken. Curse words will be shouted. Tools will be thrown. Egos can be destroyed. The front brakes do the majority of the stopping. I never got around to swapping to rear disc brakes and had no problem with the supercharged setup or the H22 motor I eventually swapped into my Civic.

Where in PA are you located? I am in West Chester - about 45 mins outside of Philly.

By the way, I do work in West Chester routinely, douche canoe

As far as LCA bolts... what's the big deal. Nothing A LOT of heat from a MAP torch can't fix and just buy new ones before starting. It really ain't that big a deal. I liked disks vs drums, but that may have been a butt dyno typo of thing.
