Does anyone know if there is a rear dic conversion kit for a 06 LX coupe? I have been looking and have not had much luck finding one... I am looking for a interior donor car for mine for some interior pieces i want, if it has rear disk brakes should i just rip the parts off of it? would that transplant work?

Thanks

goto one of the online parts sites and start cross referecing the parts against eaither a V6 or a EX, I know you need the knuckles and e-brake cables, but you can get these from a 03 to 07 so you should not have too much trouble getting the parts out of a yard.

I'm sure it's similar to the swap I'm eventually going to do.  As Paul mentioned the knuckles and e-brake cables are needed, along with calipers and rotors.  On the sedan, the wheel bearings and ABS sensors are the exact same though.  Hope that helps.  When I do the conversion on my sedan this summer, I'll make sure to post a DIY.

Thanks for the info yall. It will be the beginning of summer before i have the parts or begin i plan on doing it when we do brakes in school so i can do it with a lift and everything. If i beat you to a conversion Tim ill write up a DIY or send you pics so you could use them in a DIY

I have wanted to do this for so long, it was my first topic ever made on the old gen7. Nobody really knew what to do so nothing happened.

If you are buying all the parts brand new, its going to be about a $1200 conversion. I have compiled a list for Jason, and I thought I will share. Part numbers are off a Honda Accord Sedan EX.

what about the abs module,the proportioning valve,hard brake lines, and the brake hoses?  when I was checking the part numbers between the LX and EX... those were also different

although for the proportioning valve, they called it a 4 way on the EX

I would not be too concerned about those.....

The wheel bearings are the same for the DX/LX and EX.  It may also be a good idea to check car-part or go junk yard hopping to get these of a wrecked EX.  I've talked to a few places that were willing to sell everything for about $400.  That will reduce the sting of a $1200 OEM parts list.

^Agree, the only things that really should be gotten new are pad, rotors and e-brake cables.

thanks everyone

I will be following this post closely. Can't wait for you guys to do conversion. I think when I am going to do it I will just switch out the front with 4 pods and rear with 2 pods calipers. GL GUYS

any one do this yet, i want to do this to??

Still working on sourcing the parts at a reasonable price.  As soon as I have those and the time to pull this off, I will try to post a DIY thread.

My friend has an 04 civic and wanted to do this but it's way too expensive. Even with junked parts. Anyway GLuck with this and I hope you can find the parts and a reasonable price and make the DIY so everyone benefits from it.

I have all the parts and will do a DIY. Tried Friday but couldn't get the ball joint loose. I'll try again this weekend. Wish me luck getting a ball joint separator. And no I don't want to use a pickle fork.

good luck(use a hammer it always works)

 How much did it cost for everything and where did you buy it?

good luck with that ryan

im starting to buy parts for this as well,

quick question tho are the 4cyl and the v6 rear calipers the same? can the v6 calipers be used since im going to be upgrading the rear to 12.3 inch pilot rotors and will be using a relocation bracket does it really matter if i use the calipers of the v6 or 4cyl??

reason i ask is i found a good deal on the v6 rear caliper, thanks.

EDIT: never mind looked it up and part numbers are the same so i justt went ahead and bought them  :twisted:

^ couldn't take off the ball joint. Im tired of waiting so ill be at project import on friday in the morning!

cool, did kiet mention how much he will charge u for the job? i will most likely end up going there 2 as soon as i have all the parts

Hmm, I got lucky. The 2005 model was the first one with all four discs, right? Or was it the 04?

no they had 03's with disk just not on the lx's model, they came on the ex's

The 8th generation came with disks standard no matter what trim :/

I really want to do this. I hate seeing drums. Can't wait to see the diy so I can decide if I want to do this.

Disk brakes done!! I think Im the first crazy person to have the conversion. The brakes feel really good. Completely a bolt on affair.

Take off knuckles, ebrake and re attach the disc components.
My list:
proportioning valve
2 ebrake cables
2 knuckle assemblies
2 calipers w/ brakelines
2 rotors + pads

^ nice, kiet knows what hes doing, looks like ima be the next 1 2 do this ;)

Thanks for pioneering this upgrade Ryan.  I need to save up some money and get on this.  Did you take pics?

So where are the "how-to" pix?

it'll take me some time to post up the pics. I couldn't complete  this myself because I for the life of me could not get the ball joint off I took everything else off but had to put it back. I have a Helms so ill try posting up torque specs too.

Nice. Can't wait to see it.

except u gona need pilot rotors

Lol yup, they are already on their way 2 me, and once I get my front rl relocation bracket and my rear pilot bracket I will have big brakes front and back ;)

guy on v6p is selling TL-S calipers for 7th gen for $350 with adaptor brakets and one good rotor

i already have my rl 4 piston calipers and yellow stuff pads and paul is almost done with my rl bracket and the 13 inch rotora rotors are on their way 2   thanks 4 the heads up tho

any difference between RL and TL-S calipers except for mounting hole location?

i found this junkyard out in the valley and they told that they would sell me the whole thing for $450

whole thing meaning what

 Do you think that they would clear a set of 18" HFP wheels?

they should. they clear stock 17" TL_S wheels so i dont see why 18s wouldnt clear

I just posted a how to thread for anyone that's interested.
