never knew this kit existed. if you have the money by all means! i didn't spend that much to make it work, but again i've only used stock parts, this one is all aftermarket racing parts.

What parts do you absolutely need? you don't need the trailing arms?wat?Comment

then that would be matched with the 11 inch prelude rotors in the frontOriginally posted by timmy0tool
by the way, what is the size of the rear rotors that come off the accord for this conversion?Comment

if I were to get the parts from another cb7 that has rear discs for the rear brakes, what exactly would I need? do I only need the rotors and calipers to swap it?

I got a guy who wants to sell me a set-up from a 94 accord, minus the trailing arms. Will the CB trailing arms bolt onto the CD set and how big of pita will it be to do the arm swap? I'm not worried about the disc swap itself but I take it theres a reason everyone buys the trailing arms with their set-ups?

To answer your question Busak, heres the list of parts you need...
-upper arms from the chassis
-WHOLE lower crossmember (so you can use the rear sway bar too!)
-trailing arm from the chassis (near the jackpoints along the sideskirts)
-regular brake lines
-emergency brake lines
Timmy0tool gets the credit for the parts list. I just copied and pasted it.

yeah you really don't need the trailing arms. they are both the same on drum and disc setups. you HAVE to unbolt the knuckle section off the trailing arms though where it differs. the knuckle is where the rear caliper bolts on to.
you don't really need the rear crossmember for the swap but if you want to run a rear swaybar (handles 2x better with one) you'll need it. it's only 4 bolts to remove the whole thing so why not?!
you'll need your stock DX/LX brake soft lines, PLUS the other 2 soft lines that go to the calipers.
the upper arms from the chassis are the same on both drum and disc setups.
the emergency brakelines are different so you'll need to get those specifically for disc.
hope that clears it out some!Comment

Ah yes I remember doing this swap a while back. Took me about a week to do, mostly by myself, after work (9-5). Good luck everyone!

Ok so I dont need the trailing arms. Cool. But will the CD rear discs fit the CB with out any additional modifications or parts?

yes they will...
but you will need to order the longer bolts that connects the two arms and knuckle together
the ones on the cb models is smaller and will not bolt up that was my problem when i did mine
so just order the bolts or get it when you take the rear discs off the donor carH22 fund = 3000 hopefully soon My Member's Ride Thread

Is it easier to convert using existing knuckles?Originally posted by KabukiComment

I dont think its easier. Its actually more time consuming swapping all your original pieces over to the rear disc arms. It's easier to just put the whole assembly from a rear disc car right on your CB. But its cheaper and more convenient to use some of your old parts.

thats true cuz lots of us don't have much $$$Originally posted by Speedfiend92lxback at it againComment

not sure you can do that, where would you mount the caliper bracket because the drum knuckle does not have the mounting points that the disc ones do?
