Brake conversion.

does anyone know any website's i can buy a rear disk brake conversion for my civic. It's a 2005 Civic VP. So far all websites I have found said they have them but when you click on the link its for another car or another year of civic.

Re: Brake conversion.

I'm not 100% sure if you can do it to the newer civic's but on the 92-95 (possible 96-2000) you can take the front/rear assemblies off of the Honda Oddessey(sp?).

Re: Brake conversion.

Look for someone selling the rear discs from a Si or an Acura EL. Direct bolt on.

Re: Brake conversion.

I can't help you with that much detail, never did it before. Check the D.I.Y.

Re: Brake conversion.

u dont really need it. u could use the money on some bitchen front brakes.... you know, the ones that do 90% of ur stopping... lol

btw, u can yank em from integras of the same year, as far as i have heard, or some other acuras and whatnot.

also, just google em... i did and found like 15 conversions for a 2005 civic.
