I have a 99 ex coupe and i was wondering how easy it is to install some rear disc from a 99-00 si and how expensive it is? also what all do i need?

There are a few different ways to do this.

1. Get entire rear trailing arm assembly along with the e-brake cables. Preferably also the m/c and prop valve.

2. You can also just swap out the the entire spindle with the drum disc on it since the rear trailing arms are the same.

Correct. And also be prepared to spend about 200 bucks. Or more. If you dnt need the upgrade in brakeing then dont waste your money. Also you can use 92-00 civic rear disc. And also 94 and up integra.

 

cool thanks!

 

Even if he just swaps out the spindle ***,shouldnt he still also replace the M/C and Prop Valve?

Just curious on this one..

Master cylinder is not a necessity but VERY VERY helpful. The proportioning valve is a must though.

 

Are YOU calling me an ***??? "We ain't on your block anymore, you better watch who you talk to like that!" Anyhow, yes it would still be good to get the mc and prop valve, but I didn't get either when I did my swap and it is fine. I know that when I upgrade my brakes more that I will for sure have to get a bigger mc anyway, so might as well do it now.

WOO I didnt have to answer this.

"***" =&gt; Assembly Mr quote from the fast and the furious

^and your quote is from The Rock - Cage to Connery.
Will you paypal me the $100million?

 

I live in the same town, and you should be able to find me. It isn't that hard. If you can do so then I will give it to you. . By the way, your post had nothing to do with this thread . And it took you long enough to figure out The Rock qoute anyway. Didn't I tell you there was a time limit for that one. Damn, must not have. Besides, that was kind of another quote and that's why I put it in there. So ha

eh I never noticed it before - I dont usually read signatures.

I guess I should add some tech:
Hatch ek's, ex abs, and the em1 si have the same prop valve

It is not a necessity. I did my rear disc and still have my stock ex prop valve. 4 wheel lock ups are fun. I know you SHOULD get one but you dnt NEED it.

I could be wrong but i heard that if you dont get the valve that the fluid isnt distributed to the rear brakes as well and making the rear discs almost pointless. I could be wrong though...anyone else?

 

Haing rear discs in the rear does take moving more fluid that having the drums, so it is good to have the 4-wheel prop. valve, but braking is still better (somewhat) even without it.
