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?

Rep Power: 331 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.

Rep Power: 0 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?

Rep Power: 0 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.

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.
lets say i get the knuckles, etc, etc. could i use lets say civic SI brembo rotors and pads so ill have a big brake kit in the back to match the front? so i would use civic EX which is my car brembo rotors and pads and civic SI brembo rotors and pads for the rear with the knuckles, etc. would that work?
rsx rears
I have the complete rear control arms for the rsx with everything attatched, calipers, rotors, knuckles yadda yadda, im not very worried about the fronts untilll i go K20
SO the rear LCA should bolt right up correct? And everything from there is pretty much bolt on.
Then that brings me to the e brake cables, will i be able to get away with using the RSX ones? or my own?

Rep Power: 255 What about 03 Si rear discs on the back of my 04 ex? I would think it would all match up, but am not sure. I do know that the 04 Si has FIVE LUG . . . so I'm kind of screwed there.

Can anyone tell me the wrench/socket size the cam nut is? Does the nut come off or the bolt? I measured the width to be .955" and it turns out to be 24.257mm. 
Thanks!

Rep Power: 512 i'm not 100% sure, but i think you can use a setup from a canadian acura 1.7EL..
ep3 is a civic si hatchback.. check the frist post for all the things you need.. if you look hard enough you can prolly find someone selling a setup in the forsale thread. if you cant find one and you have the cash, i'm sure you can get the setup at www.hondaautomotiveparts.com
