i have a 1999 ex and was wondering if it was possible to swap out the rear drum brakes for disk brakes, and if it could, what would i have to do?
thanks
greg

 

Use the whole rear trailing arm assembly off either a 99-00 si, Del Sol, or Integra. Everything is a direct swap over, except you need the ebrake cables off a 99-00 si and changing out your proportioning valve.

 

thanks. how much work are we talking

 

Depends on how much a problem the bolts give you and tools available. With an air impact and proper tools and knowledge it can be done pretty quick... if oyu know what you are doing it can easily be done in under 2 hours. It is a matter of unbolting the trailing arm from the body, there's a main bolt that goers through the compliance bushing up front, 2 bolts on the upper control arm that is the toe adjuster, and one bolt holding it to the trailing arm. All you'll need to do is do the reverse of removal, reconnect brake lines, replace the ebrake cables with the 99-00 si cables, bolt it all in, and off you go. Just hope you don't break any bolts!
