New Mods...Rear Brake Conversion...
Sup everyone I just got done with my Rear Disc Conversion part 1...part 2 will contain AEM Big Rotors and AEM Pads...here are some pics...
Overall...it was fairly easy...I would say the hardest part was the e-brake cables and the most time consuming was the bleeding of the brakes...I ended up flushing the whole fluid system!

Rep Power: 326 i need those... though im told it's not necessary for our cars. did you get the valves adjusted for putting on rear discs? i heard if you dont you will actually hinder your brakign ability.

Rep Power: 288 Alright everyone...damn lots of replies...if I forget to answer a question I am sorry feel free to ask agai...LOL!!
1) DIY...I could...it was fairly easy...will take step by step later and create one!
2) How much? Well I bought the conversion minus the E-Brake cables for $275 from a member of the site, plus E-Brake Cables $62.00 shipped, and brake pads $32.10, and 2 Bottles of Honda DOT 3 Fluid @ $7.22 = $376.32 (not too bad)
3) No I did not adjust the valve...and it stops GREAT!!! I love it!!
4) Any issues...my only issue was the e-brake cable rubbing on the inside of my rims (17x7's) all I had to do was zip tie them up and presto!! Still gonna keep my eye on them tho!!
5) SpdRcrChk yes...and e-brake cables from an SI!!!
Anyhow I wanted to go boost before brakes like HyaBoosta said but this was a great price and deal so I had to jump on it!! Thanks again everyone for the compliments...I will post more pics after the AEM brake upgrade!!

Rep Power: 0 Ummm yeah.... can you tell me which arm it is? I went on the site and got to this page: http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com/...REAR+LOWER+ARM
Now....there are two arms listed on there. One that says ARM, R.R. (Upper, ABS). And there is one that says....ARM L RR or ARM R RR (TRAILING). I'm assuming it's the trailing arms that i'll need. Lemme know please.
