EK drum to disk brake conversion
So the time has come to get rid of those POS drum brakes on my 00ek. It seems so hard to find em on H-T and if i do come across one its already been sold. So anybody know where to get em?? and i want the brake lines, ebrake cable, the complete thing. thanks all help is appreciated
im doing the same thing. i was told look for either old teg or si rears, then you can buy a new cable from honda for some $. im sure there are many other ways also. YET so far that i have been told, only si or integra rears will work without making your own bracket.
(there is a guy on here that makes super eazy conversion brackets and sells them, ill search for it again. but try yourself also...)

or u can take the whole rear setup from an del sol or an 99-00 si but use new si brake lines and e-brake cables for both of those setups. If you use the teg ones u need teg rear brake lines and si e-brake cables.
did you read the FAQ section at the top of the page? https://honda-tech.com/forums/honda-civic-del-sol-1992-2000-1/%5Bfaq%5D-complete-rear-disc-brake-conversion-how-w-parts-pictures-56k-haha-641639/
i used 94-01 integra rear disc and ebrake cables for my ek and it works. fits perfectly. u don't have to piece it together, all should fit right in.
i have complete ek rear disc setup fo rmy ek3 hatch
i have 262mm rotors upfront with ABS and rear drums
the ek rear disc setup is NON-ABS
how do i keep abs
or do i remove it?

If you are using a ABS set on a non-ABS car, the ABS just doesn't work. No biggie.
^ yeah man i know what you are talking about. Here in so cal i usually only see crap cars at the junkyard. the few times ive seen ek's they have just been molested..... Nothing that can be used is left. :-( Everytime I hear that people back east go and get parts of a SI or something it just makes me wonder if they are bs'ing or if they really are lucky.

Junkyards around here are gold mines. Here are some things I've found:
Carbing cooling plate (ek) = $FREE!!
CTR 5 lug with CW wheels = $300
Si cluster = $30
ITR 22mm rear sway bar = $20
Several full GSR F/R brake setups = $50-75 each.
E-brake cables = $7 each
CTR shift boot = free
100% MINT Del Sol seats = $40 for both (found several times)
99+ spec Miata rear LSD = Did not buy (I told someone else to get it...IIRC, they walked out with it for $200ish?) The car also had the 1.8L still in it and intact...with trans.
26mm Si front bar and LCA setup = $50 with endlinks. Found twice.
Skunk2 coilovers = did not buy
Tokico blue shocks all 4 = did not buy but found 2 or 3 times.
S14 5 lug complete conversion = $200 even though THEY pulled it off the car for me.
Red EM1 side power mirror = $25 (did not buy, though)
300ZX brake conversion (rear) with cross drilled rotors = did not buy
Racing Hart wheels for MSP = Did not buy (would have been ~$100)
ITR sedan rear seat = $20
Champ white painted EM1 with ALL body work 100% intact (theft recovery that just got set down as I got there. Me and my friend stripped that car within like 1 hr lol. That's where I got the CTR 5 lug and other misc awesomeness)
I also saw a Prelude VTEC with the H22 still in there. Looked intact.
We see D series VTEC engines all the time. The complete heads are $80 each.
My friend took the valve cover off a GVR4 that we found...
I could go on like this for days. My wheel bearing just went out on my EM1. I found an EX spindle with a BRAND FREAKING NEW wheel bearing allready installed. This was 3 or 4 days ago
$23
