swap brakes front to back
 
i was just wondering if anyone has any advice on what all i will need to do to swap my front disk brakes to the back? i dont know what i'll have to do until i pull the drum brakes off, so any help would be nice.

you need to get REAR disks from a civic ex/si or integra

You're going to need to do a lot of fabricating in order to be able to mount the front calipers on the rear knuckles. It can't be done cleanly, just do an Si rear brake swap or Integra rear brake swap to keep things simple. You can buy a whole swap for not much, less than 400 for everything.

i've never done a brake swap so i dont know what all i'll need, but where would i get the rear si setup at? all the salvage yards and shops around here are a bunch of shady bitches......?

cant be done. caliper too big, need si rear end. you can actually buy it new from places like carquest schucks or possibly from a body shop. it would come with hub and all the shit you need except for the parking brake cable adapters

rear end, huh? thats what i figured, well it sounds like a nice summer project. anyone ever done a similar swap to an ex? i like advice.
