SUSP : rear disc conversion

[Ronald_Type-R]

Disconnect the 2 e-brake cables from the e-brake handle IN the car

Take off the center console and you will see two lines connected to the e-brake handle...Disconnect the two, and pull it from underneath the car..

The 2-12mm bolts are for the bracket behind the e-brake handle assembly that hold the lines in place (pictured above)..Just unbolt it so that the lines come loose and you can easily pull them out of the car..

Hope that helps

And yeah, for the ABS sensor, if your car doesn't have it, then just take it out..Oh wait, all CB7 with rear drums don't have ABS do they? Haha then there ya go, take 'em out..That's what I did..

Sorry for the stupid question, but why do we need to remove them?

[The G-Man]

I am in the middle of this (seriously, one side has disc the other drum still). I thought I would be able to line up the knuckle by myself, but there was no damn way it was happening. I had my brother help me. Of course I pretty much know what I am doing because I had to remove the knuckle at the yard.

[accord junkie]

yeah that is awsome that there are others who have done this cause i was planning on taking rear disks off of my ex-r since the tranny is messed up but i was worried about abs but no more worries thanks guys.

just finish this last week

it took we about 4 days to finish cause I forgot to order the longer bolts to connect
the arms and the knuckle. it was the weekend. I used the 96 rear knuckles if i would have used the 92 93
ex knuckles it would have been easier. If not I would have been done in one day.

the old drums


the knuckles waiting to be installed


the power tools i used they made the install fly by


the knuckles install on the car


braking does feel better but I am still going
to install the integra 40/40 proportion value

i need to do this on mine too

Well about a month ago i did the rear disc conversion on my car. Everything worked great, but now when i pull on the ebrake, it doesnt make a clicking sound and i can feel that its only holding the passenger side rear....I'm not sure what i should check or what i can do. Any suggestions?

Starting Swap This Weekend

Went to the junk yard and asked for the parts listed.

from the donor car, remove the:
-upper arms from the chassis
-WHOLE lower crossmember (so you can use the rear sway bar too!)
-trailing arm from the chassis (near the jackpoints along the sideskirts)
-regular brake lines
-emergency brake lines

and this is what i got for $150



And i picked up a set of ex wheels with tires for $100

They are still dirty I haven't cleaned them yet.

cool

i want to do this to my car some time in the future.
p.s. found a lot of them near me the ex accords and the integras w/o abs.

Just FYI for anyone doing this swap using 94-97 CD parts...you need to make sure you get all 4 lower control arms and the bolt that holds them to the knuckle...I just started doing my rear disk swap today and went to bolt up the CB lower control arms and the bolt is about 1.5" too short...the cast area on the CD rear knuckle is wider than the CB's, even if you have the right bolt, the LCA's will bow out, causing untold suspension horrors. Waiting for the wrecking yard to bring me CD rear LCA's and the bolts tomorrow morning...

Hopefully this works the way I'm thinking it will, otherwise I'll have to transfer the hub and brakes to the old CB trailing arm...

I wish I'd have known this sooner...hopefully this will help stop anyone else from having this problem and being carless.

which would be cheaper?
to buy all the required parts BRAND NEW or to get this rear disc conversion kit?

http://www.tasauto.com/Product/Browse.aspx?d=1777&h=174
(scroll down the bottom)

the kit is pretty tempting because cross drilled/slotted 11.4 inch rotors with stainless steel brake lines!
but im worried it might be missing some parts like the master cylinder and stuff, im gonna call them/email them to find out
