What Do i need?
Ok, who ever look at my post on Tech stuff:
So its do-able Accord 2003 Brakes and 5 Lug.
I really dont know that much about suspension and stuff, so
What would i need in parts of the accord to do this?
Thanks for any information.

Assuming the axle splines from the Civic will fit the Accord hubs, you need the disc and caliper assembly, the e-brake cables, you may or may not need the lines, the hubs, not sure what else. The ABS controller should be compatable. Oh, and obviously a set of 5 lug wheels.
If the axles don't fit... you're gonna have some fun. I don't think K axles will work in a D tranny, might need some custom ones made.

Rep Power: 380 Sorry about that, but you left your self wide open and I couldn't resist....
about the breaks though, For looks... Fine, sure they look better. But as far as increaced breaking (Shorter break distances) I think you'll find them to be no different the stock. What rear disks will give you is an increaced resistance to Break fade. So if you do a lot of Autocross track days, or like to fly down mountain roads they could be of benifit. Other wise the rear drums are more then adiquite for our light cars.
