rear disc conversion

[exelr8]

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

[NVA-AV6]

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

[timot_one]

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.

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.
