Im sorry but i just have to vent about what people think they can do with their brakes.

Every other day somebody posts how to do the rear disc brakes. People just do not search, it makes me so mad.

here are some facts about our brakes.

1. to do a rear disc brake conversion you need from ONLY a US 02-03 si: 1. calipers 2. discs 3. spindles(knuckel) 4. e-brake cables from a rsx or si 5. dust covers. (picture below)

2. You cannot move the front rotors to the back.

3. The front si brakes are the same as our front

4. Stop asking what is needed, i already posted everything

5. The rear disc swap is straight up, no cutting what so ever

6. If i just had brakes on a non-ex, I would first upgrade my cars tires, then add a ABS system, then disc pads, then rear discs. With this you will never even need to upgrade ur rotors, unless you just wanna look cool, the bigger calipers will problem make u lose your braking ability.

 

you should add to that, a porportioning valve, and if you find a ex with rear brakes, they would work too. but thanks for the parts listing

 

I just copied and pasted but the porportioning valve is mentioned in the link.

 

Civic Si ( 2002-2005)
RSX ( if u want 5 lug)
Acura 1.7EL ( if u are in canada like me)
