Rear Drum to Disk Conversion
 

Hi Guys,
I've read a couple posts about doing this, but I still have some basic questions. My plan is to upgrade the rear drums on my 1999 Civic EX coupe to disks from a compatable Honda/Acura, but I need to know which Honda/Acura models will be a compatable mate for my car. Does anyone have a list or know off hand?

Also if anyone has done this proceedure before, is it a direct bolt in process or is there something I should know before hand? (Like do I need new brake lines, or a different master cylinder?)

Thanks for your input I apprecieate it.

Jim

you need a ton of stuff look around and google but being that you have an ex you should have abs and wont need any valves but you do need the a arms and many other parts the brake lines i cant remember the rest

Cool, I'll do some reading online. Do you know a compatible model/year Honda I can use to get the parts from? I'll probably find this out from my reading... But if you know that would helpful.

Here we go I found a nice How-To for anyone else that's interested.

I guess the next question would be: Does anyone know where I can find a good junk yard in So Cal with the parts I need? :D

if you ahve ABS you will need everything from a 94-up integra WITH abs...if you have no abs than it's a 94-up integra with no abs...basically you need the whole trailing arm assembly including all brake cables and hoses....
