Pick up the August issue of honda tuning.

They have a FULL writeup with pics of the swap. Very extensive.

Call me stupid, but this doesn't seem like a simple thing to do...unless you're doing it with someone who's done it already...

word on the street is its not much harder than taking off your drums, and replacing it with disc's, then bleeding.

when i did it, i bought the control arm, camber arm and suspension and ebrake cable with brake lines so that it was easier on me, i didn't end up using the suspension or the camber arm though, i threw those away, but everything else went good.
