I have the parts to do the conversion but i notice that i cant turn the rotor and that the cailibers are closed. does that mean its broke? or if i hook em up they will work again? please let me know.

 

good thing to do would be to rebuild the calipers before you put them on the car. The rebuild kits are cheap, and easy to do. They are basically the grommets for the caliper. you just replace them , re grease everything and you are good to go.

 

I hate rebuild kits with a passion... buying a pre-rebuilt caliper is cheap insurance IMO! I tried doing the kit, fugged it up, and went and bought rebuilt calipers.

I had the same problem when I converted my '88 CRX over to discs. The arms were outside in the junkyard for a while and the rotors and calipers were toast. I bought new Brembo rotors and rebuilt calipers from Advance Auto and installed them before I did the swap. Easy and done for years to come.
