Have you searched at all yet?

First of all, what kind of car do you have?

You can use either '99-'00 Civic Si or '94-'01 Teg equipment. There are 2 different ways to go about this.

1. Entire trailing arm assembly incl. disc, spindle, trailing arm, e-brake. Don't remember if there is anything I am missing, but search should be able to help. You can just swap over the whole trailing arm assembly if you would like.

2. You can keep your trailing arm and e-brake, and just take the spindle off of the SI or Teg trailing arms. In my case this was more beneficial because the trailing arms I got from a Teg were bent, so I had to re-use my stock one anyway, BUT it is kind of a pain to get the spindles off without taking the trailing arms off as well unless you have lots of room to work underneath of the car.

Hit me back with any other questions and I should be able to answer them.

you need a rear disc setup from a 99-00 civic si or 94-01 integra...look in the classifieds...your replacing the entire trailing arm with brake lines and the e brake cable, all your bolts will bolt right up for either setup...you dont have to get the brake master cylinder and booster...its just a upgrade to get the full upgrade of the rear disc brakes...you can use your stock one...note using a 98+teg/99-00 si ms you will not need the teg/si booster you can use your stock one...but if it is a 94-97 teg ms you will need to change your entire ms/booster...i hear that you can use a ms from a 91 civic sedan...straight up bolt on to your booster too...this should be the only info you need bro haha..good luck...its not that hard...im still in the process of doing the rear disc conversion on my 99 ex...i'm just missing the stupid brake lins...

You shouldn't need the brake lines to do the conversion. I didn't change any of that over. Also, as I stated above, you don't need the whole trailing arm, but that is just usually the way it comes. You can use the stock trailing arms though.

GSR or 5 lug if you have the cash flow. either way if you do the full routine , prop valve and all you will feel the differece. Forget 5 lug and save some pounds and money, go with GSR or SI disks

It shouldn't be that hard. Ebay always has them and just about any junkyard will also. Just be sure to WD-40 the heck outta them if you do that. Also, there should be many people on here that have them. Go to the classifieds.

Threads over man. Pretty much everything that needs to be covered has already been done. Unless you have any further questions.

I want to say that the discs shouldn't run more than $40-50 brand new from Autozone, but then again, it has been about 2 years since I have replaced discs, so my memory may serve me wrong.

As for the pv, just search around in the classifieds. There should be an abundance there.

I don't know which lines you are talking about but you need to switch both sets of lines either way. E-brake and soft lines. The soft lines won't work because you need a banjoe fitting on the caliper end for a disc brake.

I have an extra set of soft lines BTW.

Tell that to BMOUSA. I dont ever remember switching either of them out. Maybe I am just getting old, but they should both switch over.
