naw its pretty easy, first you need stuff from 90-97 accord w/ rear discs, you'll need the brake lines, knuckles, caliper, rotors, take off the drum lines, drum knuckle (4 bolts to trailing arm, then the castle nut and pry the knuckle from upper control arm), put on disc knuckle, put on rotor and screws(use an impact screwdriver for this in order to not strip the screws), put on caliper/pads/shims, attach brake lines, bleed brakes

and youre basically done, you'll see when you get in there its pretty easy, i would get new rotors(brembo blanks) and ss brake lines while youre in there...import auto salvage sells the swap pretty cheap

Best bet is to find a junked 94-95 Ex and rip everything associated with the swap off it

Should'nt be too difficult

I believe you also need the proportioning valve. The one with 4040 stamped on it. What size master cylinder is on it. you will want the 1" size. If not you will need the booster and master cylinder.

i believe you do, rear drum will react differently if you slam on the brake at higher speed. You need your brake to work right, what's the point of getting some bling bling rear disc and ended up with a half **** job?
