Simple and easy...i have Si calipers, pads, and rotors...what else do i need and what dont i need. I have been told i dont need lower arms but i will need new upper arms? prop valve? lines? if you have done this conversion please help. just need simple answers. i tried digging through the threads but it confuses the hell out of me. thanks for the input.

oh and do some scrolling down until u get to the rear disc conv. section, this might help as there is a lot of writing

Hopefull you get a compleat swap from whoever.. Yes you will need an integra Prop valve and some time its not bad tho it all just bolts together also you need integra brake lines dont re use the ones if it comes with them get new ones

You still need:

• E-brake cable from 96-00 Si
• Rear brake lines from 96-00 Si if using civic rear calipers
• Rear brake lines from Integra if using Integra calipers
• It is also reccomended that you use the Si proportioning valve when doing rear disc swap.

You Can use the E-brake cable from a 90-00 Integra, but it will be a different length (slightly long). Also the rubber peice attached to the lines will need to be modified. The proportioning valve is optional, as many people have had no problems using the proportioning valve intended for drums.

so the only thing i am still confused on is if i need a hub and spindle? they are obviously not the same thing? the rear calipers bolt onto which part..spindle? is there a difference in the stock hub i have on the car now and one from disc brake set up?

p.s. using si civic calipers front and rear.

yup everything that comes off the spindle must go back on it. drum and disc spindles/ hubs are not the same thats why most people find it easier to just swap the whole trailing arm. also because the bolts for the spindle are super hard to take off

All '96 - '00 hatchbacks use the same prop valve as the Si coupe as do the HX and DX coupes. For anyone that doesn't believe me check the part numbers. Sedans are different and so is the EX coupe

well it's sounding more and more like I should have just tried to find the whole setup and not piece by piece it, luckily I only paid 80 bucks for 4 rotors, 4 Si calipers and pads and its all new in box. So its basically deciding if I go ahead and buy new spindle AND hub plus e-brake cable, or try to find a complete swap...ughh.

Well you can always just get the scarebird conversion for the spindles and be able to use your stock hubs with it since you have about everything besides the spindles, lines and ebrake cables.
The proportioning valve is the correct one on your car but if you haven't yet you might also want to source a front brake conversion to 10.3" ex/si or 10.3" integra or you might get too much rear braking bias.

just_bn_me83

the rotors i have for the front are 10.3 and i know the si calipers are bigger than the stock, but they probably dont bolt up right do they?

94EG8

No they don't, you need EX/Si front knuckles to run EX/Si or Integra front calipers.

Are you sure you have 10.3 fronts, if you are than that should be at least an EX caliper. DX, CX have 9.5" front rotors.
