I am shopping around for a disc brake swap for my EJ8 but i dont wanna start the project and end up finding out i need extra parts halfway through it like i did with a few other projects. (Very frustrating and time consuming) What are all the extra parts i need to get for my conversion besides the rotors, and pads?? I need to order these asap cuz shipping takes a while and my mechanic is leaving next weekend.

Off the top of my head... (because I'm in an oddly good mood...)

1)Pads and rotors
2) E-Brake cable (drum cable is different from disc)
3) Calipers (obviously...)
4) Rear trailing arms (the disc ones are different from drums...)
5) Patience... I've heard running the e-brake cable is the biggest PITA because of it's location...

From Honda Tech
1. 93-97 delsol or 94-01 integra or 99-00 Si or "some" 92-95 Civic Si trailing arm assembly.
2. delsol/Si rear brake lines (if you use integra trailing arms/calipers you need INTEGRA brake lines...they have a COMPLETELY different caliper attachment that WILL NOT work with delsol/si calipers).
3. 99-00 Si Emergency brake lines (integra lines will work but they come together into a single rubber floorpan grommet which you'll have to hack up and you could hear wind noise, etc under the carpet).
4. 99-00 Si Master cylinder/proportioning valve (you can go with integra parts but you'll have to flare lines, etc) the Si stuff is drop in.



I understand all this but my main question is will my current coilovers, rear camber kit, lower control arms, and adjustable tie rods fit if I do this swap? Also, am I right to assume emergency brake lines is a different way of saying parking brake lines?
