looking at hondaautomotiveparts.com, new parts are more like 1000+
im calculating ~900 without cables and disks and pads.
gotta get the knuckle, bearing, caliper, and each of those is 100+ a side.
plus the cables, splash shield, pads, rotors, etc.
i think people tend to forget the bearing, which is already pressed on if its off a car, but if you buy new, gotta get a bearing with the knuckle $$$
the bearing (with studs) is listed under the disc section, not the rear trailing arm section where the knuckle is.

Rep Power: 0 PunkingCivic - When I step on the brakes, they feel wonderful. I tried stopping at 40mph and stops on a dime(well not on a dime, but they feel very different from drums).
allmotor - Yeah those are rota C8's. I'm planning to sell them in the future to get Velox.
Thanks everybody for the replies. I appreciate it. Yeah, it still or kinda does look like a 4X4 even though it's lowered. I'm waiting for the slotted rotors for the rear. But my project is far from finished. I have a long way to go. Will be posting new pictures soon. Peace!

Rep Power: 0 I have found them around junkyards and such for 450-500. I know someone that's found a set for himself for less, though. 450-500 for a set of rear brakes is still kinda expensive.

those two combined (#1/2 from first pic and #4 from second pic) with the dust shields (#28/29 second pic) are what is pictured on page 1 as the "knuckle".
The hub/bearing is what the rotor bolts to, and also has the wheel studs pressed into it (comes with hub). It rotates on the knuckle shaft.
that's how I am seeing it, anyway.

Rep Power: 327 i see what your talking about. from what honda told me, when i was compiling my list was that the spindle comes with the knuckle. but then again it is honda. hahahaha! im going to call again to doubble check, but if that's the case then used, would be the best way to go. well atleast for the knuckle/spindle anyway.

Rep Power: 0 well if they said the spindle comes with the knuckle, that is correct, the spindle is just the shaft (sans bearings) coming out of the knuckle.
whatever the case is, let us know what you find out
