Yeah if anyone knows of a way to overcome the proportioning valve issue in the LX model please let me know... that's the only thing that I'm concerned about.

Eyger did it end up working in your car? If so what did the slave assembly end up costing you?

Right, you can just leave it. But I believe that in order to obtain optimum performance out of the rotors, you would have to change the master slave and proportioning assembly. So I guess you could say from stock to good, or from stock to really good.

i was quoted about $400 to have custom proportioning done, and quite honestly, the difference probably isnt worth the money. I feel that the $200 i paid for my conversion has more than satisfied my performance expectations.

Just trying to clear things up here,

to do this you need the stock Si rear disc's and calipers + e-brake cables. To "build them" meaning changing rotors and calipers? i need more things?

Im planning on keeping the stock calipers but changing rotors, what exact items do i need before i go buying all of this stuff?

Just out of curiosity....

Okay, so, just to make sure ... are the rotors the same diameter as the stock EX rotors? My two concerns with doing this conversion was A) the 5-lug mistery (which I can see now is not a problem as long as it's from the EP3) and B) I like to take my rims off in the winter and throw my stock 15's on w/ winter tires....so...if the set-up won't fit in 15's....I can't do this. Thanks for the input.

4 lug EP3 rotors are the same
A) is wrong, it is a problem to just go 5 lug, search for that, no sense clogging this thread
B) use 4 lug brakes.
