DC5 rear discs??

ok so i was looking around an rsx forum and i see somebody selling dc5 rear calipers and he says itll fit 02-05 civic si. so im wondering if they will fit my em2?
and if so is there other parts from dc5 that will fit for a rear disc conversion (besides brake lines) such as knuckles? i mean ppl do 5 lug swaps so im assuming the knuckles will fit unless the struts have to be swapped too. any help is appreciated! keep in mind i just want to do a rear disc conversion not a 5 lug swap
thanks

your gonna need to do a 5 lug swap other wise the knuckle and what not will not fit...im pretty sure you also need DC5 lower control arms as well

the only real caliper upgrade you can do for our cars is the front calipers offa a intergra type R which is simply a bigger one piston. boilermaker did it. do a search he posted a diy

well i know you can swap the rear discs from an 02-05 SI, and if the rear calipers from the dc5 fit the si, i dont see why they wouldnt fit the em2, assuming you did the rear disc convesion already

haha if you got the money to pick up some brembos and start cuttin to see what you can do, then you should just do the lug conversion, it would be easier
