Got an ek and wanna do a rear disc conversion. can anyone help me out with a parts list??

 

1. Complete DC2 or Civic EM1 rear trailing arms w/ Calipers, rotors, and ebrake mechanism. You can use ur stock TA and just move the components over, but i've found it to be much easier to swap complete trailing arms.

2. Civic SI EM1 ebrake cable for a no fuss fitment. I personally use the DC2 cable, but it was a pita to get it right.

 

search , there is a ton of info on this

 

thanks alot. ive been searching but i just wanted to get another opinion.

 

You can use pretty much a DC Integra or Civic Si 99-00. They will be an easy bolt on. Just remember when you use the DC Integra you will have to add a spacer or washer for the lower end of the struts. Other then that it is a direct bolt on

 

I dont know who told you that but this is incorrect. Im running DC trailing arms in my car and no washer/spacer was needed.

 

ok i was looking for 99-00 si rear TA sets and nottin yet. im gonna be throwin on some lowering springs so i shouldnt have a problem doin that. thanks alot. im gonna keep lookin around

 

ex trailing arms?? EX uses Drums anyways SI or 94-01 Integra Trailing arms tegs are much easier to find since more of those go to the junk yard a 40/40 prop valve non abs and Si Ebrake lines

 

whoa..good eye. Edited to say EM1 (SI) instead of EX. thx. Certain 96-00 civics models came with a 40/40 prop valve. So depending on which model you have, you might not need to pick up the prop valve.

 

yeah no problem! do you know if the LX came with one don't mean to thread jack just curious

 

96-00 CX and SI share the same Prop valve

 

sweet thank you

 

All Hatches, DX coupe, HX coupe and Si run the same prop valve.

 

Also, depending on how "complete" the trailing arms are, you might have to get more stuff.

The GSR ta's I got from somebody had cut the brake lines, so I had to buy new ones. Pretty cheap, but still.


Don't forget Brake Fluid lolololol

 

Oh now you say u got DC teg parts on it. Ek civic are plug & play if you got the trail arms, lca and ect of a DC teg to make it rear disc conversion.

 

true. One of the trailing arm i purchased was bent and missing the ebrake spring x(

 

For the sake of simplicity, you just need the complete trailing arms from a dc teg or em1 civic along with the ebrake cable. You can reuse your rear upper and lower arms from your ek civic.

 

ive always wanted to try this:

it seems pretty straight forward and you dont need to pull your whole trailing arm off. its also pretty cheap

edit: i had a 99ek and sold it and got a 93 si so i have rear disks now. that why i never did it

 

You only need to do that when runing EG/DC shocks in the EK. That is the only time you'll have to add spacers.

Also, these cars when shocks, not struts.

 

You don't "have to" remove the whole trailing arm to do the swap; its just easier to swap the whole trailing arm vs individual components. Swapping the spindles would be be a cinch if not for those torx bolts.

 

is there any way you can do a rear disc conversion on an ek with a 96 dl sol rear suspension setup?

 

Just bought pair of 96 integra rear TA's for 100 bucks! Gonna order
Me up some russel brake lines and si ebrake cables. I should be set

 

So many inquires on rear disk swaps....i hope everyojne realizes that no performace will be added, just a bit more weight and of coarse time and money spent

 

Not only that, but drums are almost maintenance free compared to disc brakes.

 

Lol very true.
