there is an abundance of how to's for the rear brake conversion on a 6th gen civic.
but i am in need of a HOW TO for the FRONT CONVERSION on a 6th gen civic.
i searched but couldnt find !can someone please help!

 

Just unbolt the knuckle. Bolt up the new knuckle. Bleed the lines.

 

this may be a stupid question but cant you take off the old calipers and rotors and swap the new ones on?. im about to do a conversion too...

 

I don't think the caliper will bolt onto the bracket. I'm also doing the conversion this weekend. Shouldn't be too hard. Like I said, bolt off, bolt on process.

 

u have to change the front a arm/spindle.. u can just take that off a teg and bolt up to a civic and like the other guy said swap ur brake lines, bleed and there u go..

i would also recommend brembo cross drilled rotors and some good pads.. work wonders rotors are cheap too like 150 for the set.... on an ek... big big difference..

fyi. i've done it on both my ek's.. let me kno if u need more help i can probably get u picks.. if u "really" need em..im lazy but if u need them i can jack up my car and get u some picks

 

150 is cheap for a set of rotors lol? Cross drilled don't help your breaking at all. I will bet you I will stop faster with my 12 dollar cheapest autozone rotors vs your "cross drilled" rotors given the same pads, car and tires.

True "cross drilled" rotors that you see on porches, BMWs, ect are not actually drilled. Instead, the holes are formed when the rotor is fordged. This makes it so the rotors do not loose any strength. You POS ebay "brembo cross drilled rotors" that are blank rotors then sent to some no name second company to drill holes in the rotor. This will cause small fractures around the hole, which will weaken the rotors. Check out tirerack's website and they will even say that the cross drilled rotors are not intended for racing.

 

for the front i have to use the integra upper control arms? i cant keep my civic ones?
