ok, I've got a 01 civic si donor vehicle. EXACTLY what parts are needed to do the rear drum to disc conversion? Any unusual parts needed? The car is in florida and the guy is going to ship me whatever is needed, I'd like to get it all in one shipment. Also, is the 01 civic si a 4 or 5 lug wheel? Will I need new rims or is there a way to make my 4 lug wheel work with the setup if it is a 5 lug?

thanks guys!

pretty sure the si is 4...as for the conversion, I dont really know, but anyone who does; i have one question. Are the SI front brakes better or worse than our front brakes (both disk). Because if they are better, then would it be feasable to convert the front to si disks and the rear to the OEM front disks?

The Si was 4 lug until 2004, but there was no Si for the 2001 model year. So you better make sure someone isn't yanking your chain. Double check the year. Either way, search, I'm pretty sure Hondaluver has posted a parts list.

yes i did post it all up with pictures and what not... please search this has been beating to death...

here it goes...


you need the rear si e-brake cables, the arm that holds the disc and caliper, the disc, caliper, dustcover, and brake pads....

its all in this picture below, and no there was no 01 si, 2004 si's are using rsx parts now and everything is a compleat bolt on, no cutting or sawing, the only thing is that you have to stretch the rear ebrake cable a little cause its a little short but it fits, and remember to bleed...

i'll look for the picture

the car that you would want if you wanted a 5 lug conversion would be a rsx, if you just want to change ur rear drums that are 4 lug to disc that are 4 lug you will want 02-03 si rear brakes, that is what i got.

Im sorry i think i have the picture at work, well what that peice is called is the spindel or knuckel

its in the picutre below on the right

that is the last peice you need,

here is a picture of what i just unbolted to bolt on the rear disc converion...


and then bolted everything up in reverse, first bolted on the spinel, the dust cover, rotor, caliper, pads, then brake lines.



also you don't have to worry about your ebrake not working because the si's have a ebrake on the new calipers. so it is totall compatible, you can use either si or rsx rear brake cables...

hey hondaluver- do I need control arms, trailer arms(?) or anything else??? I saw a couple of drum to disc conversions parts on ebay and they listed all sorts of stuff, maybe it was because the donor car was a 2000 civic or they were just throwing stuff in. I e-mailed the junk yard I only needed from a 02-04 civic si the following: E-brake cable, Dust covers, the knuckles (spindles), the calipers and the rotors. I got quoted $450.00 shipped to me, is that in-line? Did I miss any parts to request?

all you need is the knuckel on out, such as that pic with my drums i found the pic of the stuff that is needed. it has to be from a 02-03 si.


i got mine all for 500 bucks, i believe that is a really good deal...

heres the pic
