Rep Power: 0 What exactly is needed to do the conversion? brakes? hubs? axles? what else? If you pass up the deal you think they would sell me just the conversion? Let me know. Thanks

If the brembos come with it, and you get the WHOLE brake system (the booster, the master cylinder, etc...) then its worth it. But some how you need to get the entire braking system up to the task of pumping the brembos. It'll take quite a bit more than the stock system. I don't know if the Civic system could handle it, nor would I want to find out.

Rep Power: 380 u can't do it unless u make special axles for the fronts, you are going to need some d series to k series 5lug axles, it is not worth it in my opions, just upgrade ur brakes with rear si disc and get bigger rotors.
its just for show, and on top of that all that extra weight, you know stock to stock that our cars stop just about with very simular 60-0 times...
the rears will go on with a problem, you are going to need rsx or si rear brake cables. then the arm for disc brakes. for a si all you would need is rsx axles and the brakes, for out cars, we have to upgrade to si's then to rsx's for 5 lug
