EJ8 Rear Disc Conversion & Tuck
The car is a 2000 Civic EX (EJ8)
The motor doesn't matter...(SiR-II)
Well those shitty rear drum brakes have got to go. I'm in the market for a disk conversion. I JUST purchased Omni rear lower control arms, so I'd like to find a conversion that doesn't include the OEM ones (save a lil $). But if I have to get them too, then so be it.
Since a 2000 Si comes with rear disk, I assume this would be the most direct swap. I know I need a 40/40 proportioning valve, but I'm still not clear on what else. The brakes master cylinder I currently have is pretty strong, so I'm not going to worry about changing it like some people have suggested unless it causes me problems afterward. New pads and rotors too of course.
Will I need new brake lines/fittings?
Will the e-brake need any modifications to connect?
What parts are explicitly required?
Can I get just the rear hub assembly w/o arms and bolt right up?
Thanks!
