I have a usdm civic coupe, and i really want to install the rear disk conversion. Does any one know exactly what i need in order to do the conversion ? And will the rear disks off a integra fit my coupe ? Thanks in advance
 
Any 94-00 Integra rear disks will fit. I think from previous years will also work. All you need is the rear knuckle assembly and the e-brake cables from either the integra or an 99-00 SI civic.
 
yes they will, make sure you get the following: trailing arms, Ebrake cables, calipers, rotors, ...other than that it's plug & play! I would use my civic traling arms for the simple fact that you know that they are in perfect condition! You ay never know if the integra is a little off! also you don't need the following porportioning valve, brake booster, or master cylinder from a integra No MATTER WHO SAYS YO DO! trust me I have done this many times & have a CTR 5-lug on my 2000 hatch for the past 2 years & it runs pefect!

Yea, yea, you dont need the proportioning value but its good insurance if your using your brakes hard aka performance driving. Also the master cylinder from a ITR is 1" in size, gives great feel and performance over the 13/15" or 15/16". But you do not need these extra parts as tico_ek9 states. But why do a disk conversion if your not going to go all the way, its not that much more expensive. Plus a brake stop for the master cylinder ads to the upgrade, at a low bolt on cost. Do it right and be done with it, forever!

I had zero issues with gaining access to everything needed. MC, p-valve, heck everything has in hand in less than a week, low cost as well. But you have a point, Boston...may be an issue. ;) Go Yankees!
 
jus recently did the rear disk conversion to my ej6.. heres some pics....

i purchased the whole assembly from a local junk yard ..it came off of a 97 integra ... i was able to take the trailing arm toe and camber arms.. along with knuckles and cables.. you WILL need to use the integra cables .. however you may have a little trouble installing because their about 2 inches shorter .. i was able to have my brother make me brackets so i didnt lose any tension.. you are going to need to KEEP your lower control arm b/c the integra control arms ar shorter .. when i say i took the whole assembly i MEAN IT lol:)) make sure you check all bushings before you install the new assembly rotors and calipers as well...

also .. the integra assembly that i purchased had abs.. i jus cut the wire since i was running late that day and i decided that if i ever want that i would jus have to purchase that wiring harness which is available at autozone HEHE..

I highly recommend that you use your oem trailing arms because you know 100% that their not bent or anything..Just change out the Hub...

remember that you also need rear disc brake hoses.
brake hose on drums and disc are different.
