I have an EX, and no, there is no 4 wheel disk.. annoying as it is..

<< i thought the EX could come with ABS. most ABS systems i know include four disc brakes. that's what i'm talking about CarbonCivic. >>

Rep Power: 0 what im thinking of doing is just taking the rear Knuckle and disc brake assembly from an RSX and bolting it onto my EX. i am almost positive it will fit easily, and the RSX has ABS so that shouldnt be a prob.
goto Acura CarLand and check out the following parts:
Left Rear Knuckle assembly: $132
Right Rear Knuckle assembly: $132
Lower Rear Arm Bushings: $7.10 x 4
Upper Rear Arm Bushing: $6.42 X 2
entire rear brake rotor & caliper assemblies: $?? x 2
after doing this, you could get a big-brake kit for an RSX and replace the stock rotor with that and then do a Civic Front Big Rotor conversion and you'd have big rotors on both front and rear.....that'd be so sweet!

Rep Power: 0 As Silkor said, the suspension component off the RSX will fit on the new Civics. I know the knuckles in the rear will fit, but we might even be able to get away with just changin ghte hub itself. Same for the front. This will not only give us rear disc brakes, but also a five lug conversion. If/When I get the money together for this, I'll do it.
