i have many questions i need answered.
ok first... why cant i find any front upper strut bars that fit an 03 civic ex coupe? its all 01-02. that or it says WILL NOT WORK WITH AFTERMARKET INTAKE.
second... i have about 500 dollars saved up to do the rear brake disc conversion.. the guys at my local shop said that they would install them for me but i have to get the parts. i didnt want to make them write out a whole list of the EXACT parts i need kuzz they were busy that day. anywho. will someone please tell me EVERY part i will NEED to do this swap. so i can go to a local honda junk yard with the list and have someone there help me get the stuff.
when i do the rear disc conversion will the lug pattern change? the ep3's are 4x100 right?
o and i just ordered my ATE brake rotors and hawk ceramic pads for the front. i guess the ATE rotors just improved the slots so they make the pads last longer than OEM they did the tests to prove it.
's up for that! ill let u know how they work.
thanks in advance. o and REDem if u read this.. your myspace is tight. my gf loves that song. she wont stop playing it thanks ;P

Re: i have many questions i need answered. (iwantspeed)
A Neuspeed front upper bar will fit the 01-05's and it WILL clear any aftermarket intake...
Brake swap: Rear spindles, rear trailing arms, brake lines, emergency brake cables, rear rotors, calipers, pads.
The 02, (and 03 I think) EP3 Si's have the 4x100 pattern. The 04-05's have a 5x114.3.
Thanks for the comments on the myspace page too... It took me a while to get it like I wanted it.

Re: (supermex)
Less than 300 bucks? I am calling bullshit, because each of the spindles and calipers by themselves are 150 a piece. 150x4. That is 600 bucks right there.

There isnt any way, unless he got them used from somebody who hated their rear brakes.... But there is no way you are getting lines, cables, rotors calipers and all for 300 BRAND NEW... no way in hell.
And usually nobody will be sponsored by a parts shop at a dealership... I have never heard of it.
He may be able to get sponsored from an aftermarket parts supplier/store like the one I work at, but 300 bucks BRAND new/OEM parts seems a little off the money, pun intended.

Re: (supermex)
So that means they'd be 5 lug, which would be useless for this dude....
It'd be much easier to just go to a junkyard, that way you can at least visually inspect the car they came off of.

Re: (supermex)
First off, you said you can buy brand new OEM parts from http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com from an 02-03 EP3 for 300 bucks to do the swap.
Then you said that THEY use Acura RSX parts (5 lugs BTW), then change it to Acura parts.... WHICH ARE STILL 5 LUGS... And http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com is a HONDA dealership, not Acura...
Then you finally make yourself look like an *** by saying WE don't know what we are talking about... Some nerve.... So GTFO and come back when you don't have your head stuck in the turbo of your $30,000 300 hp Civic.
