Yeah thats correct, then you'll also need Si E-brake cables both left and right.

No it will not transfer. I ask why you want disc brakes other than for looks. Performance of disc and drum isn't enough of a reason to change them. Just FYI.

i guess for looks cause it would look nice if i would get a set of rims and ditch the steely's, but i actually happened to think they would stop faster, but thanks maybe ill reconsider this for now, but while we talk about the rear end the trailing arms i see for sale everywhere are they worth purchasing, or should i say wat things can i do to help my handling i currnetly got coilovers

The best TA bushing to get are the ones from Honda or Mugen (ie Rubber). Especially for the street.

Before we can tell you what will help give us a run down of what you have, shocks, coilovers, lbs springs, sways, etc....

as far as i know everything on is the stock suspenison except coilover's and rear control arm(energy suspension) and trailing arm buhsings(honda oem), i have a b16 swap which makes the front a little heavier, the front rides good but because of the stiff coilovers the backend hits bumps and bounces me all over the place occasionally smacking my head from roof..haha i was considering new rear struts soon

What kind of coil overs are they. If they are bouncing you all over they sound like some cheap eBay knock offs and you are most likely better off to replace them. Also I would question how low your car is. If is to low it will also make you suspension useless.

IMO you need to forget about doing anything with your brakes and invest in a decent suspension setup. I would looking to a full coil over or some sleeves such as Skunk2 or Ground Controls in combination with Tokico Illumas or Koni yellows. After you get your suspension under control then look at doing your brakes.

is it possible to change the rear coilovers, due to the fact the front rides and handles perfect but you can feel the back end kick up when hitting bumps. i mean if they all must go they will all go but wat id liek to do is save on some cash since i just recently put in the b16.

Anything is possible, but why have two different sets of springs/coilovers with different spring rates?

The Skunk2 Coil over sleeves. (You can get them cheaper elsewhere) http://www.skunk2.com/Merchant...unt=3

The Ground Control Coil over sleeves. http://www.nolimitmotorsport.com/groundcontrol/

These are the two coil overs that I would look at. In combination with these coil overs I would use the Tokico http://www.tokicogasshocks.com/products/illumina/ or the Koni's http://www.redshiftmotorsports...%29+2 That will make for a very good suspension setup. It is a good foundation to start with then you can do your sway bars later if you desire.

Also do not cheap out on suspension cause you will end up where you are right now with crappy suspension.

Also it does not ride and handle great if the back end is moving around

I had the Skunk2 coilover sleeves when I first got my B16 swap in my CRX and I was totally unsatisfied. I would not recommend them, my car bounced more than Pamela Anderson's tittays on Baywatch.


Went with Progress springs for an EF with a B-series swap and I love them! I also have Tokico Illuminas, they are great!
