What you need to purchase? or do you mean what tools you'll need? Or both? I did a rear disk brake conversionon my 92 about 1.5 months ago. All you need to grab is the rear trailing arms with rear disk setup attached. New brake lines for an EX. I just grabbed SS lines when swapping my brake lines out. New rotors, pads, all in preference. Impact screwdriver to take off the screw on the rear disks. A lot of brake fluid for bleeding the brake system afterwards. Make sure you grab a helms manual as well

The 4th gena nd 5th gen sahre the same trailing arms and suspension. Just make sure you get from the knuckle out along with the soft lines and e brake cable. I would just upgrade to SS lines instead of using the softlines though.

Please list all cars that are interchangeable to install the rear trailing arms & disc to a 4th gen accord.

All the damage is in the front but it doesn't look like the engine or the manual trans took any damage. I don't think the master cylinder and the ABS modulator took any damage, either but I need to take a closer look.

I know for sure everything from the firewall back is in absolutey perfect condition. This guy is so **** about keeping his cars in great shape. He had me do a timing belt/water pump kit just because of the age (he didn't even get a chance to take the old parts out of his trunk...poor guy).

It's not a SE but it has every option except for the leather interior and automatic trans.

I have a bastard Grand Am in my garage that needs an engine. As soon as I finish it (I hate working on domestics), I'm going to tow the Accord home and strip it down to the sheet metal (even the quarter panels..NO RUST) so I can list it in the classifieds. PM me if you would like to reserve any parts...

Oh yeah...The car is that reddish, brown color with maroon interior, a factory spoiler (I think), power mirrors, REAR DISC brakes and factory sun roof. The bumper, radiator, condensor, right fender and hood is toast. I think the left fender took a little bit of damage but it's not work fixing (fenders are cheap). The right from strut tower is pushed back a few inches but the doors open like new and there is nothing buckled.
