So I've been looking into converting my drums to discs but people say I need trailing arms. I have blox lca's already do I still need to buy trailing arms? Sorry for my lack in knowledge in that area. Also i want to replace my brake shoes anyone know what size are the brake drums for an eg sedan? I'm guessing the bigger option 7.87 x 1.38?

 

Have you tried the search button. This topic is easy though

 

Yes your lcas will work with the same generation disk brake and trailing arm combo Don't forget the e brake cables either

As far as your brake shoe size. That I can't say without knowing your car or what set up you have in the rear, but why you asking if u interested in a disk brake upgrade? Hmmm

 

Why are you trying to replace brake shoes if you're doing a conversion?

 

The trailing arms are the same, the problem is trying to get the bolts out that hold the spindles to the trailing arms, it's easier to just swap the whole thing.

 

I'm replacing my shoes today they're pretty bad. And I'm not converting to discs till I know what it is I need and what I'm doing lol.

 

The conversion, if you go through with it is only for looks, no performance will come of it

 

And ease of brake changing.

 

The Integra disks w/ type R calipers & bigger disks isn't only for looks too is it? I think drums have more fade too

 

Would the brake lines need to be from an integra sedan or coupe?

eH.

 

You need to know more about how brakes work. Front brakes on Honda's take up 80% of the braking, leaving only 20% for the rear. Beefing up the won't make any kind of difference

Brake fade on the rear drums on a street car is not an issue for our cars

 

its always an issue for me

 

It's only an issue for extended heavy braking, and extended heavy braking is only reasonably possible on a track. End of story.

 

But it looks soooooo much cooler

 

So I replaced my rear shoes. And now the e brake light is blinking and my pedal is really soft. My brake fluid is where it's supposed to be and there's no leaks. Also my e brake is not working I moved it to the drive way and it rolled off and almost hit the Lexus behind me... My fluid is black so Im going to replace it and bleed the system any ideas as to what's going on??

 

You either installed the parking brake assembly incorrectly, or you didn't adjust it. As for soft brakes, did you bleed afterwards? Did you do a proper bedding, in reverse?

 

I tried adjusting them out but the drum wouldn't fit over it them when I did.

 

You answered the non-question, and skipped the two actual questions. Did you bleed the brakes? Did you do a reverse bedding?

 

No I'm going to in a bit.

 

You were driving the car, without doing the adjustment and reverse bedding...it's a 5 minute process. In what world did it seem like a good idea to leave out?

 

Noob world....give em time. They become pro's, they gotta learn from there mistakes, even if it involves getting into accidents and realizing that they should've bled the rear properly.

I never drove the car.... I moved it out of the garage to the drive way. E brake didn't work I moved it right back in.

 

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess you have no clue how to reverse bed your brakes. After you've bled them, put the car in reverse and accelerate to 5 MPH. Slam on the brakes. Repeat. Repeat twice more, this time accelerating to 10 MPH. Your brakes are now properly bedded, and your parking brake is now properly adjusted. Like I said, it's a 5 minute process.
