Has anyone been able to figure out how to do an itr rear disk conversion (without replacing the whole trailing arm.) everyone knows about the front, and that the 98+ crv, accord v6 and accord wagons all share the same calipers (front) as the itr but what about the rears. The rotors are 10.1” aren’t they? As opposed to the small 9.something that comes stock on most civic/integra equipped with rear disk. I just want to know if the caliper bracket is the same and all that needs to be done is transplant calipers and rotors (redrilled) and it will work fine? Or is there more to it. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.


Btw, I called fastbrakes uip on it at one point and they said it would be easier to use the new civic si (hatch) rear calipers on stock caliper brakets and use their 4x100 rotors. I think the only catch was to shim something out or to shave pads down. Anyone know for sure?

If I were to get an itr front brake satup on my sol, I would definitely want to upgrade the rear as well (I know that most the braking is done by the front but maybe for better balance….)

Thanks in advance

why dont you use the whole trailing arm and etc

 

Here's a how-to thread on doing a rear disk conversion while retaining stock trailing arms:

but thanx for the replies

its hard to find EP3 rer calipers so bump

 

whoa all this time and i forgot to say something in this tread? ok here it is.

ep3's rotor is the same diameter as a type R but comes in 4x100 which makes doing a type R brake or 02 civic si brake conversion/upgrade easier.
i'll make a new tread about this when i finially finish the job. already got the parts minus the caliper.
