Follow that DIY guide for parts list
Dezod has various parts for the swap
Or, you can find someone parting out their car (or selling parts from a 4 to 5 lug conversion) on other forums. For example, clubep3's marketplace

Another good source is Canadian junk yards, Acura ELs came with stock with rear disks and they're common up here, you just need to pay a bit for shipping.

thanks mindbomber i have been looking for some in canada but haven't seen any in the junk yards there. i was hoping to accually see pictures from the junk yard first?

hey riceboy i'm sorry one more question, i can buy all the parts needed for the conversion on this dezod site? do you know where i can get a complete part list? thanks again

I literally saw an EL in a junk yard last week, they quoted me $250 for all the parts needed for a rear disk conversion. They're really common in comparison to Ep3s, which is why lots of people end up ordering from Canada.

You could order everything directly from dezod, it would be a bit pricey though since those are all new parts.

ok thank you mindbomber, is this like a 200$ difference? if thats the case then i can do new parts. also is there some type of parts list that i can look at on the site? thank you for your help sir!

you are spending quite a bit of time and effort for something that is mostly for looks. the rear brakes are only maybe 10-15% of the total braking system. almost all the stopping is done by the front rotors and pads. if you actually need more stopping power, you upgrade the rotors to a larger diameter, get better pads, ss lines, and upgraded calipers. the rears are pretty much a waste.

Look at the prices on dezod, one new rear caliper is $400 lol

Agree. Only pros I have for rear disc conversion are wet weather braking and ease of maintenance.

Too bad you live in Cananda. I have rear EP3 Calipers with under 20K miles on 'em, sitting in a box.

I did it for looks and ease of maintenance. Found someone selling a set of rear knicks assemblies for $400, and paid another $100 for an rsx e-brake cable on crsx. Don't buy it new, it'll be way the hell to expensive.

true i forgot how much easier it would be to change pads. drums are a pain altho they normally go 100k+ miles before needing service. if you can get all the parts for cheap, might as well. but dont go out of your way expecting great stopping power only for it to feel the same.
