Sorry if this is far out there.
or if the answer exists somewhere, somehow.

Buying a 97 accord tomorrow, and not feeling the drums in the back.
what do most ppl swap with to get discs?

just to toss this out. i am parting a 00 integra gsr, with rear discs?
is that possible somehow to use this on the accord?



thanks for the help in advance!

 

i dont think the integra set up will work... use accord parts for your rear disc conversion.
i believe 93-97 accords w/ rear disc should work... make sure you get the e-brake cables as well

 

Swap the rear suspension for one out of an 94-97 EX accord

 

which trim level of 97 accords came with drums anyways??

 

 

The LX coupe & sedan, with the exception of LX ABS, DX coupe & sedan & the LX Wagons all came with drum brakes. So if your looking for the 94-97 Accords that came with discs, they would be; The Lx ABS, I4 EX coupe & sedan, V6 Ex & Lx, and the Ex Wagon.

 

You realize the Accord FAQ has a fully detailed thread on the topic right? I'm sure you looked there first.

 

Of course he did Muffin... Who wouldn't look there before posting? LOL

 

sure did peek at the stickies.

but as this post asks,
would gsr hardware by any chance fit the accord.
thanks for the help

 

thanks for providing the most helpful answer!

 

lol at the "I am not feeling the drums in the back" comment. easiest way to swap them is grab accord EX rear disks and swap them in by taking everything attached to the rear knuckle.......

are you doing this for looks? cause if you are doing it for performance you are going to be sorely dissapointed.

 

Why the disappointment? It should be an upgrade from drums or they wouldn't have offered it as an upgrade..... Only way I could see it being a disappointment would be if you were to use the stock drum brake proportioning valve. I would assume that rear drum & disc brakes use different fluid pressures.

 

Is an Accord an Integra?

Is the Accord a Civic?

No, no the GSR hardware does not fit.

 

time to close this one.
thanks to those that helped.
then there were those that commented.

 

 

I have a question as well, considering this thread has been dormant for about three weeks, i'll bring it back.

I have just found a 99 EX 4dr with discs all around...

a) will the discs from the 99 fit my 97 (has drums);
b) i) does the 99 have a rotor over hub design in the front?
ii) if yes, is it possible to switch those out in my 97 as well?
