SUSP : rear disc conversion

[timmy0tool]

I keep hearing people saying that if I get the disc swap from another CB, all I need is the trailing arms, e-brake cable with the complete brakes.

What else would I need if I get the swap from a CD? the same trailing arms, e-brake cable with complete brakes..? anything else?

BTW I got a CB.... and will be swaping into my CB.

CB and CDs share the same suspension. just get what you see in my DIY (first page) just to be safe.

That is correct. The ebarake lines for drums and discs differ in length.

so if i get everything from a cd to do the swap do i need the lca's from the cd also or can i keep the lca's from my cb and it will bolt up fine? i read that the cd knuckle is about 1.5 inches short from the cb lca's so i need the cd lca's or no

Bump....Question do you need the brake lines from the donor car or can you use your orginal brake lines also is there a difference in the e bake cable in a 2 door vs a 4 door my car is a sedan and the donor car is a coupe.....Please tell me they are the same thanks for the help.....

[timmy0tool]

i answered your PM but for the others that are curious here is the answer.

to be safe, grab all the soft brakelines off the donor car. i was trying to describe what lines you need off this pic, but it's too small.



if you notice, part #32 is the exact same softline, either with drum or disc. disc is the upper right section of the picture. all lines after #32 you will need.


as for the cables on sedan vs coupe, they are the same thing, so it will work either way. and you do NOT need to change your booster, but it's recommended to replace your proportioning valve (especially if you upgraded your front calipers to larger units off a prelude vtec or accord wagon). you don't have to though, just recommended for a better feel.
