Default 96-00 Rear Disc conversion

All-

Okay I've looked through all the conversion posts already and not really gotten a good straight answer. What year and model parts do I need to do a rear disc conversion for my 99 EX coupe?
And . . . this guy is telling me that the 99 Si front discs are bigger than the EX. Is this true? Are the calipers any bigger? Thanks.

You need 94 and up Teg or 99-00 Si rear brakes for the swap.

You don't need control arms, but you do need the trailing arms. Do a search for brake and my name. You will find a lot about it.

hih

Correct you need the trailing arms and you may also need a prop. valve off of a 90-93 teg for equal braking. Correct me if I'm wrong WCS.

I believe you're right. You should also get a GSR booster and MC. Bumnah may have one for sale.

Okay this is what I got from the dude for $350 plus shipping. 1999 teg rear trailing arms with all spindles, pads, calipers, slotted discs, e-brake line, all brake lines. Plus front 99 Si font discs all hooked up and complete. And the prop valve from the teg. Now all I need is the booster and mc, right?

I believe you need the full front hub to add larger rotors. The caliper has to connect to the hub and if you put larger rotors on, the caliper can no longer bolt on in the OEM position - it will sit further from the hub.

Yes, you'll need that booster and MC for them to work good braking force. PM Bumnah.

Is this what you mean by full front hub?
