Default Possible bolt-on 10.2" brake upgrade; EX knuckles may not be needed!!!



This is a brake upgrade I just completed on the '83 S...home-grown, figure-it-out-myself style.

From what I can tell, this will work on the EF also. I'll test it out Tuesday to be sure.

What does this mean? It means that you don't need EX or Integra knuckles to upgrade to the 10.2" rotors.

Yep, it's on the '83 that's in the other threads.

Let me verify that this will work on the EF before I post up the ingredients. Otherwise I'll be getting IM's for months with people griping at me about it not working

That would be great. I just spent all weekend rebuilding a rear drum on my friends 4 door which had been broadsided, and never more in my life have I had more hatred for the complicated rear drum than now. Makes me want to do a rear disc on my hatch sooooo bad.

he said you dont need knuckles to do this NOT trailing arms

that mean this is for a front brake upgrade NOT rears

keep us posted man, **** looks hot
loving the old school civic, my dad had one just like it back in the day

im praying this works on EFs or should i say EDs

once you learn how to work the springs instead of letting the springs work you rear drums are simple, admitedly not as easy as discs, but still nothing to sweat
