I know its not your year accord but it should be about the same..or atleast youll get the point on what you need to do I guess.

 

BlkChryKord has done it, but with an upgrade to V6 brakes.

I haven't done it yet. It's "under construction"

 

what all do you need from the v6???

Well that all depends on whether you're just going to do a rear disc conversion from an EX 4cyl or go for the full 5-lug/rear disc from a v6 like me.

 

i know you would have too do the full conversion if u use the v6. It would be very hard odd if your front were 4 and rear were 5. So what all parts would you need if using the v6.

 

Think about the whole brake system on your car. Now think of it on the v6. You'll have to take it off the other car, and put it on yours. Now I don't know how much you're pushing your Accord but I don't think you need it.

There's your answer, it really couldn't be any more obvious

 

you would need the entire knuckle assembly from the EX 4 cyl...i wouldnt go with v6 brakes only on the back if i were you...cause you'd mess up the brake distribution...once you get the knuckle assembly, all the rods and bars and links should just bolt on...you'd also need the ex parking brake line and discard the abs components

now...IMO...i think the drum brakes performs great if you arent running a whole lot of power...i upgraded my front brakes since they are the main ones...the back brakes are almost just assistant brakes =P IMO no need to be high performance
