Hey all,
I'm new here because i just got a '96 Accord LX I4 5 speed 134k miles a few weeks ago. The car was handed down to me, so i had no choice on package options etc.
It has stock wheels with scratched up hubcaps, and i was thinking of getting some aluminum wheels, but the '00 prelude ones, for instance, don't work on my rear because i have drum brakes.

SO.....
I'm wondering if I can do a drum to disc brake conversion in the rear to allow some better looking wheels in the future. Is this common?

Thanks,
Adam

 

the lude wheels don't work because the lude is a 5 lug pattern, your accord is 4 lug. There are plenty of aftermarket 4 lug wheels to fit accords. If you want OEM wheels look for some older Acura CL wheels(not positive on the years, but around 97-99). And you can do drum to disk conversions, here is the best thread i've found

Sorry it's from another forum.

 

thanks so much!

 

owns... there are so many how-to threads about this on here

 

If you need OEM parts from and accord, i just wrecked my 5th gen EX that had rear disks, PM me if you need the peices.

 

I've seen that drum to disk done on accords before but I dont know how much it cost. disks are a little more expensive to maintain than drums

 

how much for that rear disc conversion?

 

I made this offer already, but he turned it down, let me know what you think. $100 for the basic parts (arm, caliper, rotor) $250 for all that + master cylender, and e-brake cable.

Prices are negotiable

Let me know its off a 94 EX i just wrecked
