Cool thanks. About how long did the work take you? The SI pattern is 4x100 same as the regular civic, correct? I'm really thinking about doing this project over the summer.

 
Rep Power: 403

^^^ not too long with air tools and yes

sorry, will an LX need all the ABS equipment along with all the parts mentioned? or will it still work without ABS? Thanks!

 
Rep Power: 403

it will work fine with all other civic models, you just have the option with the abs on ex models

which one is the "complete list of parts" tha list on page 2 or the picture on page 3?
also what parts do i keep from my EX? thanks

 
Rep Power: 403

well if you go to honda you have part #'s... and you can also get these parts off of a totalled si or from some one that has upgraded to 5 lug...

keep all your bolts, and the abs sonsor off ur car... you will need to change all the stuff above... if its not listed, just keep your original parts...

thanks.. but which list do i go off of.. tha list on page two thats all words... or tha picture with lables?

 
Rep Power: 403

its the same thing.... all the parts in the pictures are the parts that riceburner listed, just more specific, but if you get them off a si, you just have to worry about a few big peices, because it is a straight swap....

Will this setup work with factory wheels?

 
Rep Power: 403

im not sure, since si's come with stock 15 inch rims... and the rear brakes are smaller than our stock fronts... and the si's and our fronts are the same size...

i didnt realize that u could swap them over like that could u do me a favor and send me all the specs that was actually the next upgrade i was going to do on my ride.

 
Rep Power: 403

quick question for hondaluver or ricerburner on the parts list posted by ricerburner the mudguards are they for the discs or are they just a part of riceburners order and the disk why do we need 4 or were they just posted twice in error ?

 
Rep Power: 403

they go behind the disc's, u only need 2 discs

 
Rep Power: 305

I doubt you could add ABS. You would need the computer, the lines, the modulator, the sensors, the wire harnessess, and install them all.

Plus you forgot to mention brake proportioning. You could use the valve from an Acura EL, which has four wheel discs.

 
Rep Power: 403

yea, its really a pain in the *** and too expensive. i didn't use the brake proportioning valve, mine is stock ex oem. it works fine.

do you guys think cross drilled slotted rotors are worth the upgrade if you're gonna do this or its just a waste of $ ?

 
Rep Power: 327

cross drilled only if you were going to a larger diameter rotor other wise you are losing lots of mass, sloted sure , why not

 
Rep Power: 380

Personally I'd avoid drilled rotors at just about all costs. (Unless I was hunting down that last tenth) and I'd avoid larger brakes also just about at all costs (unless there was no other way to get brake temps down).

 
Rep Power: 0

With cross drilled rotors, you decrease the surface area on the disk. Sloted rotors would be fine.

 
Rep Power: 380

Its not really a surface area thing but rather a Reduction in mass = Higher opperating temps = brake fade sooner...

Do you have to go ABS if you put the rear discs on? I dont really think you would need to, but just wondering. I dont want to if I dont have to.

 
Rep Power: 304

Zzyzx I guess if this exsisted you have it by now, but I'll ask anyways. Are there lighweight rotors for our cars, that are just as good as stock in terms of durability, and don't cost and arm and a leg? I remember you talking about unsprung weight and all. rotorts 30-40 pounds lighters would make a significant performance change right(because of the unsprung weight stuff you tried to explain few times but I think I was lost when I was reading your explanation)?

Where does the proportioning valve go on the car?????? I have an Si Sedan EX american and it has ABS.. so all i need is to find an acura El 2001 plus i guess to do this....

SaWeet. good info great price list, and inventory sheet. Thanks a bunch.

 
Rep Power: 0

well... I've been reading this thread up and down I even printed the whole thing and I have a question... I have an 05 EX Sedan are all these parts the same for the 04-05 models? that's all I'd like to know... thanks!!!

 
Rep Power: 340

Yes they are buddy its the same

If you are really interested in lightining your rotors... I'm sure Porterfield could build you some..
