I Wana Do A 5 Bolt Conversion The Lx But I Heard U Need To Do Rear Disc Conversion First Is This True ?

All compatible 5 lug parts will have rear discs in the first place. You'll need to get the proper lines for it, though.
Also, don't use all caps... it's annoying (the board software usually converts it to normal, with every first letter capitalized, as you have there... still irritating to read!)

Get all of the 5 lug parts, the proper brake lines, and the 40/40 prop valve from an Integra and you'll have all you need for the conversion. You'll want to replace the rotors and pads as well, if you don't buy all new stuff. There are DIYs in the DIY section for both rear disc coversions and 5 lug conversions.

ok i know i need all this
- front knuckles (with bearings and hubs still in em) from 97-01 prelude
- rear hubs and bearings from 97-01 prelude
- pair of front rotors for 97-01 prelude
- pair of rear rotors for 97-01 integra type R
- recommended new pads all around, match them to the calipers you use (front = prelude and rear = accord)
- driver side axle from a 5th gen accord (correct tranny type matters)

As I said above... brake lines, 40/40 prop valve... and I believe that's it. You have everything else.
It's not that you'll have to do the disc conversion to do the 5 lug swap... you WILL be doing the disc conversion BY doing the 5 lug swap. All 5 lug Hondas have rear discs.

ok man so all i need is 92 accord rear disc brake lines ? wat do u thing of russell brake lines
and the 40/40 vaule wat doe it do and i need for a 92 honda accordComment

The 40/40 prop valve makes the discs work with the current brake system in the LX. that way, you don't have to swap out for the EX brake booster and whatnot... the EX also has ABS, and you really don't want to try to install that!
You get it from an Integra (I forget exactly what year, but check the DIY threads regarding the conversion and it'll specify)
Stainless lines are always a good choice. Russel makes good stuff.

Yes. You aren't doing anything different to the front brakes (well, the 5 lug will bring larger rotors, but that doesn't matter)
The 40/40 valve will ensure that your brakes lock properly... you don't want to lock your rears faster than your front, or you'll spin out. You don't want to have them not lock enough, either.
Also, I've never done this swap. All of the answers I'm giving you, I'm learning as I go... by searching. The information is all here.

What? What the hell are you talking about?
I thought that was already established... You CAN'T do the 5 lug conversion without doing a rear disc conversion. It's impossible. There are NO 5 lug Honda hubs that are compatible with our cars that have rear drum brakes (I don't believe there are any 5 lug Honda hubs that have drums... period.)
You do the 5 lug conversion. To make it work properly, you will need the brake lines and 40/40 prop valve. Is there any other way I can possibly say this? The 5 lug conversion IS a rear disc conversion. There's no way around it. You're treating it like the rear disc has to come first... The ONLY things you need in addition to the 5 lug parts are the brake lines and prop valve.
