Hey does anyone know exactly what i would need to do a rear disk conversion on my 1994 ex. Please list. Could i use the oem front calipers and rotors since the oem rear are smaller?

No, you can't use the front calipers as you'd lose a parking brake. And if you use the rotors they are the wrong thickness and you'd need some kind of shim probably.
You need the entire rear suspension of a 90-97 accord with rear disk brakes. And you need the proportioning valve and master cylinder from that car as well, and disk-brake equiped brake lines (preferably Stainless Steel).
There are some how-tos out there, it's really basic though, the hard part is aligning the rear after you do it. ESPECIALLY if your lowered and no one will do it, and you have to do it manually like I will have to in a few weeks

Sorry for high jacking the thread, but what all would I need to perform a rear disc conversion on a 98 Civic EX? Mostly what I need to know is what years of other cars/models' rear brake systems will fit a 98 Civic EX.
