just pick an Ex or Si coupe (if you have a coupe) or sedan

its cheaper to find used knuckles (with hubs and backing plates) on ebay
im gonna use reman calipers off autopartswarehouse.com (65 a piece)
and like i said, ebrake cables from Honda (about 28 a piece)

Disassembling aprox. 40 mins
Installing and adjustments aprox. 1 hour

Excellent DIY

seaworldkid · 08-16-2010, 06:26 PM

just ordered my E-brake cables and painted the calipers, cant wait till this weekend ill try taking some pics myself of the install.

seaworldkid · 08-22-2010, 01:33 PM

ITS DONE!! if you have a car that is over 40K miles on it you will have alot of fun (and by fun i mean Hell) trying to keep you sanity when doing this conversion. but i cant be happier, the brakes feel 110% better and i love the look of all four disk shinning in the sun.

balsagna · 10-15-2010, 12:52 PM

nice diy guys! i've been wanting to do this for a while so i'm glad i found this!

Daniel112 · 10-15-2010, 02:28 PM

about how long does this take?

seaworldkid · 10-20-2010, 07:34 PM

about 2 hours it is really easy, the hardest part is getting the E break cables threw the car and the dash out.

Bram · 10-22-2010, 08:21 PM

I just purchased a New set of Rear Disc Brake set-up, and plan to install iwithin the next couple of weeks.

Is their any brake proportional valve to worry about?

I also got this complete kit at a really good price, so if anyone would like a kit, drop me a PM.

Bram

seaworldkid · 10-23-2010, 05:10 PM

no proportional valve, just be careful no not stip the break line crush nut us some blaster to loosen it up. good luck

Bram · 10-24-2010, 05:05 PM
