I think the integra or accord rear disc brakes will fit. I'm planning to do this too. I'll do some research and let you know.

AEM does not have a rear disc conversion for the 2001+'s. Only a larger disc conversion for the fronts. Probably the easiest way to get rear discs would be from a 2001 Acura EL. But why would you want rear discs? Most of the weight on our cars is in the front.

i was told that 80% of the braking comes from the front brakes. i asked about the EL conversion a while ago. i think they will fit, if i were to do it, it would just be for looks when i have my rims on in the summer.

Rear disc brakes DO make a difference. I just got rid of a 1993 Accord with 4 wheel disc brakes and I have noticed a difference between it and my new 01 Civic. (they both had/have ABS.)

Besides the rear discs look so much better!!!!

HP makes a nice set of disc brakes.
