CL1 → EK Accord Euro R Brake Upgrade Accord Euro R CL1 (6th gen) 1998-2002 → Civic EK (6th gen) 1996-2000 Significant brake upgrade using larger 282mm rotors and 4-piston calipers from Accord Euro R. Fits VERIFIED ✓ MODS REQ. EF → EF Civic EX 10.3-inch front brakes (knuckles, calipers, rotors) Civic EX (EF) 1990-1991 → Civic / CRX (EF / ED) 1988-1991 Yes — the 10.3-inch front brakes from a 1990–1991 Honda Civic EX (EF) fit a 1988–1991 Honda Civic or CRX by swapping in the EX front knuckles, calipers and rotors, with 14-inch wheels. The write-up, reprinted on Civicwagon from CRX Resource, says the 1990–91 Civic EX was the only EF fitted with 10.3-inch front rotors, adding nearly an inch of rotor diameter. It recommends pairing them with the EX 15/16-inch master cylinder and booster, and HF CRX and base Civic owners also need DX/EX/Si axles. A separate Civicwagon thread lists which proportioning valve suits each front/rear brake combination and notes that DA Integra knuckles can also be used but are designed for a slightly wider chassis.

EK9 → EK Civic Type R 5-lug hubs, brakes, and suspension (knuckles, rear disc trailing arms, shocks/springs, front sway bar) Civic Type R (EK9) 1997-2000 → Civic (EK) 1996-2000 Near-direct bolt-on conversion from 4-lug drum to CTR 5-lug four-wheel disc. Bolts up directly: CTR e-brake cables (no modification), CTR front knuckle/hub/brake assemblies over the standard 96-00 Civic axles (retained for both D-series and B-series engines), and CTR rear disc trailing arms. Reusable stock parts: front brake lines (rerouted), rear lower control arms, and upper A-arms. Required extras: Integra rear flexible brake lines for the rear discs, and CTR or Si front lower control arms if fitting the CTR/Si front sway bar, because EX arms have a different sway bar mounting point. E-brake cables from a 99-00 USDM Civic Si (Canadian SiR) also work. Strongly recommended supporting parts: Civic Si 4040 proportioning valve and Integra Type R 1-inch master cylinder/booster to correct front bias once rear discs are fitted. Brakes bleed normally, same as USDM ITR calipers. Reference cost of the original build: about $2,100 including 5-lug kit with rear sway bar (~$1,200), CTR shock/spring set (~$200), wheels, tires, and lug nuts. Fits VERIFIED ✓
DC2 → EF Rear disc brake conversion (Integra-style calipers and rotors via Scarebird adapter) Integra (DC2) → Civic CRX (EF) 1988-1991 The hub and staked spindle nut are reused; the drum, shoes, backing plate, and drum-specific cable and hose are discarded. The adapter kit ships with 12x1.25 mm x 20mm bolts (bracket to spindle face, 40 LB-FT) and 12x1.25 mm x 25mm bolts (caliper bracket to adapter, 55 LB-FT), all with high-temperature thread locker; the hub bolts torque to 139 LB-FT. Loaded refurbished calipers (e.g. Callahan) include the bleeder, banjo fitting, and parking-brake bracket. The factory hydraulics carry over unchanged -- the OEM 1725 CRX proportioning valve and 13/16 master cylinder gave good front-to-rear balance in testing. The correctly sized parking brake cables come off a 1990-91 Honda CRX Si; the Integra and Civic ones are too long, and CRX Si cable ends fit the Integra-style calipers. Fits VERIFIED ✓ MODS REQ. EM1 → EG Rear disc brake trailing arm assembly Civic Si (EM1) 1999-2000 → Civic (rear drum brakes) (EG/EK) 1992-2000 Rear disc trailing arms from a 99-00 Civic Si, any 94-01 Integra, or a Del Sol bolt onto the drum-brake EG/EK Civic chassis. Trailing-arm and parking-brake-cable lengths are reported to match across 88-91 and 92-95 Civics and 90-93 and 94-01 Integras, so donors are interchangeable. Transplanting the complete trailing arm is simplest; the hub-and-brake-only approach also works and skips the rear alignment. Required extras beyond the arm: matching rear brake pads, rear brake lines (Si or Integra), new parking-brake cables, and the disc-spec proportioning valve plus master cylinder for correct bias. Replace the trailing-arm bushings before installation, confirming the bushing size matches the donor arm. Fits VERIFIED ✓ MODS REQ.
CG → CG V6 5-lug conversion with rear discs (front/rear knuckles, calipers, rotors, parking-brake cables) Accord V6 (CG) 1998-2002 → Accord (4-cylinder) (CG) 1998-2002 Yes — the 5-lug hubs and brakes from a 1998-2002 Honda Accord V6 (CG) fit a 1998-2002 Honda Accord 4-cylinder (CG) with V6 front and rear knuckles, calipers, 5-lug rotors and disc-type parking-brake cables. The 6thGenAccord DIY by moderator BlkCurrantKord covers converting a 4-cylinder LX to 5-lug with rear discs. He notes the V6 front rotors are almost an inch bigger than the 4-cylinder ones. In another DIY thread, the owner fitted V6 rear knuckles, calipers, parking-brake cables and the V6 master cylinder and proportioning valve. RedRyder points 4-cylinder owners who want 5-lug wheels to the same DIY in a separate thread. Fits VERIFIED ✓
CG → CG V6-size front calipers and brackets with 4-lug 11.1-inch Prelude rotors Accord V6 (CG) 1998-2002 → Accord (4-cylinder) (CG) 1998-2002 Yes — the V6-size front calipers and brackets used on a 1998-2002 Honda Accord V6 (CG) fit a 1998-2002 Honda Accord 4-cylinder (CG) with 4-lug, roughly 11-inch rotors from a 4th-generation (1992-1996) Prelude. In a 6thGenAccord DIY, S-spec built this setup and called it identical to the Integra Type R setup apart from the 4x114.3 bolt pattern. He says it clears stock wheels to his knowledge. In the forum's 'Integra Type R Brakes' thread, Drift runs V6 calipers with 1995 Prelude VTEC rotors (11.1 inches, 4-lug). He says everything bolts on without modification and that ITR, NSX and Legend calipers also work. Fits VERIFIED ✓
