nice writeup. what parts are needed besides the obvious (si calipers, rotors, brake cables) does a disc hub need to be used?

Thank you. And you just reuse the stock hub from the drum brakes.

CerealWars · 07-23-2008, 11:36 PM

Also just curious if anyone has purchased the brackets and did the swap themselves? Did everything go smoothly?

ej civic noob · 07-24-2008, 06:14 AM

i just found this thread, so im going to hopefully be ordering the brackets soon but with my schedule prolly won't be able to install them for a while

Huh? Did you read my write up at all or just look at the pictures?

cdownin · 08-10-2008, 10:33 AM

yeah why didn't you just use OEM integra knuckles..? its a direct bolt up....

CerealWars · 08-20-2008, 10:51 PM

Honestly, its different. I didnt want to take the risk of getting shitty trailing arms and when I thought about it it was a wash. With the money you spend on a disc brake trailing arm swap (with new rotors, pads, hoses and cables) verse this bracket its just a plain wash.

BTW, the price is $85 plus $14 shipping worldwide.

evilhonda · 08-28-2008, 12:11 PM

nice write up! i just ordered a pair from Scarebird for my civic!

so since i have a 00 DX i do NOT need a new prop valve but i need an integra or SI booster and MC, is that right???

evilhonda · 08-28-2008, 06:19 PM

do you use the same hub? and if so how did you secure the rotor to the hub?

evilhonda · 08-29-2008, 07:38 AM

anyone?

Hope that helps, if not check out slhondaparts.com to cross reference the part numbers for yourself. As for your other question (do you use the same hub? and if so how did you secure the rotor to the hub?). Yes, reuse the stock hub. The rotor will be held in place by the caliper and wheel.

Please do. And give your opinion of the install.

I will be doing a rear disc conversion on my 96 LX over the winter this is a great write up on the Scarebird conversion

silverekjdm · 12-08-2008, 10:24 AM

hey guys so im pretty much new to this so i have no idea how to use it. but i have a question about suspensions, so i want to lower my 98 hatch but im on kind of a budget and i found one on jdmboys website for 100 dollars with springs and adjustable perches to adjust the height with and it just takes the stock shocks and stock struts. soo i was wondering if anyone can help to tell me if this would be a good buy or will it just ruin my shocks and i should keep looking.
please message back, im dying to know!
thank you

Tobit · 01-31-2009, 04:33 PM

FYI, Mark (Scarebird) still has these available. I am ordering a set for my '97 DX Hatchback on Tuesday. Will use new Si calipers, pads, and rotor along with a Si master cylinder. This will be so much nicer than digging through snow filled junk yards right now.

CerealWars · 02-16-2009, 09:40 PM

Hey look! My old thread! Hahaha So Tobit have you installed your brackets yet? If so how did it go for you?

Fook_me_honda · 02-16-2009, 11:35 PM

Is it still on an "email to buy" status? i just checked the site and its still not listed.

CerealWars · 02-17-2009, 05:43 PM

Im pretty sure it is.

JHP · 02-18-2009, 10:24 PM

hey cerealwars, maybe you should edit your first post saying that scarebird still sells the kit on his EBAY store. Its not on his personal website but it is on his ebay page.

cracker1252 · 02-18-2009, 10:26 PM

i have 98 EX civic. I have two questions. where did you get the new set of disks, OEM si or teg...? (does not say in your write up). Second, is it possible for you to post the three pictures you have missing or is that to far gone? marvelous how-to. very impressive.

JHP · 02-18-2009, 10:32 PM
