Took me about 3-4 hours by myself with jackstands. Yeah, my friend's shoes were grinding and instead he replaced the drums to disks. Much easier. Can't see his behind steelies.

Just be prepared for things to go wrong, depending on the condition of the parts. Pretty much all of the bolts on mine were rusted pretty well tight, so I had to WD-40/heat all of the bolts. It just takes patience, but it really isn't hard to do at all.

they'll be a nice upgrade and i personally think it gives you better stopping power. but as long as you can lock up your drum brakes they should be good for daily driving. i did my conversion and i did notice a big difference

90-01 Integras, 92-95 Civic Si/EX ABS, 99-00 Civic Si, 93-97 Del Sol Si/VTEC are all pretty much the same. The only difference in all the models is that the 90-93 Integras have a larger diameter trailing arm bushings, and every other model is the same. You can't use Del Sol ebrake cables though.
