did you honestly feel a difference in braking? i know there has been some debate about changing the master cylinder to that of an RSX or Civic SI. i'm assuming you didnt do this? so how about your input?

i posted a want ad on ephatch.com and got a response within a couple hours

civiccontend34

while we are on this topic, can you swap in ep3 or rsx rear setup?

D-Vus CIV

both eps and and rsx will fit.no i didnt do the master swap but once i can get on i will.braking does feel different.and my ebrake is strronger it seems.try ephatch to get them.i got mine from a member here.had to drive 3 hours to get them but i wanted them.

^^^ so you would say that braking now with the rear disc set up is better now, than when you had the drums?

i'm only asking this because i have the rear disc swap sitting in my garage, and i'm debating whether i should even put them on or not.

D-Vus CIV

yeah i dont have to mash the brakes to stop.its a slight difference.plus i like the way a rotor and caliper look behind my rear wheel.its better than that ugly drum.

LT2004ever

iTrader: (2)

man if u dont wanna put them on, sell them to me!


Also you all i have put up a want ad on ep3hatch.com and its been a week without a reply :/

i signed up on ephatch like a month ago and within 5 mins i had myself a set for $220 shipped

there isnt a real difference in braking, just looks a whole lot better

LT2004ever

iTrader: (2)

man everyone else must have better luck than me

D-Vus CIV

i found a set on clubrsx. but you will have to get si hubs and rotors.the guy told me 300 shipped for them.that was two days ago ill try to get him again.

D-Vus CIV

i found a whole swap including the front and rear disc swap for 500 obo.not bad.i saw on here that you can get 5 lug swap with oem axels so you might wanna look that up.

Eyger

We've debated the performance gains when swapping to a rear disc brake in another thread a while back, and the consensus seems to be that the brake performance is in fact increased still utilizing the master cylinder. I discovered a while back from a guy at my shop saying that disc brakes use less brake fluid pressure then drums. I'm sure that if you were to upgrade to disc, and then upgrade to big brakes then it'll be even more of an increase, but just stock discs is without a doubt better then drums.

^^^makes sense...

i think robearracing.com or truehonda has rear brake conversion. Talk to eddie

LT2004ever

iTrader: (2)

for us?!? or for like the Si, and older civcs?? since i dont see it on the site imma have to call, but which site is eddie with?

See i like my rims that i have right now, so no 5 lug for me

LT2004ever

iTrader: (2)

sorry to ask again, but just to make sure i told this guy everything i need, tis the rear spindles(knuckles),hubs,rotors and calipers, then the e-brake cable. right?

D-Vus CIV

spindles/ knuckles, si hubs to stay 4 lug,rotors, calipers, brake lines from the calipers to the body, calipers should come with this if you get from the junkyard, and rsx ebrake cables.btw i have some extra rsx cables for sale.

FYI. Going from stock brake ( fronts) to AEM BBK, you would actually gain distance brake (or whatever you call it) which is a no good. but still it looks cool!

LT2004ever

iTrader: (2)

come again?? you are saying that converting your front rotors and pads to a Big brake kit, doesn't help your braking at all, in fact it makes if worse... how so??

like with me all i did was replace my fronts with brembo blanks and used some hawk pads, and my braking distance has decreased.

ohsnapsjay08

iTrader: (11)

yep, the Big brake rotors not the ones that's the same size on our stock. (if same size then yes, it will help) Totally forgot the explanation but it has something to do with the size and all. this was covered plenty of times here. I am pretty sure someone can explain it like boilermaker or gearbox even.
