I'm sure all of you are aware that the LX coupe does not come with rear discs. Can you use the rear discs off of a 94-95 sedan EX? Would I also run into the problem of ABS, because my LX doesn't have ABS. If someone could help me that would be great.

you can use 94 - 97 ex rear parts for the disc conversion...abs wont be a problem

What all will I need for the conversion? I understand the brake and calipers. But will the Ebrake still hook up the same? and will the lines fit? I come from a small town and no one really knows jack about accords. If it were a civic or integra, no problem.

i have disks in da back and i have a 94 lx.... i did no mods to the brakes. got the car from an old couple like that!

That is kinda weird, i tought that the LX didn't came with rear disc brakes, my 95 LX doesn't have them, perhaps you could get them as an option? by the way, do you have ABS then?

the lx with abs comes with rear discs....it was an option....anywyas, you will need the hubs, discs, calipers, and new brake lines as well....yes, your e-brake will still work...here ya go, this should get ya started: http://www.accordinglydone.com/techl...gory=1&Gen=5th

i always have this question, the LX with rear drums has only one brake line going from the engine bay to the back, and the disc brakes ones have two lines, i don't know from where the lines come, but i guess you have to switch that piece too, am i right?

EDIT: i know in the LX they come from the proportioning valve, but no clue on the EX

it comes from the brake master cylinder....

GZERO

so the EX MC has 4 brake lines coming out? sorry to say this, but that doesn't sounds right to me (again, i'm trying to figuring this out, not getting into a fight )
