So I want to double check something. I did a rear disk swap on my lx coupe, does this technically make me an ex?(suspension wise) I ask because on the DIY it says if you are an ex all you need are hubs( what I'm hoping for) I'm pretty sure my rear all I need is hubs since im disk already. I'm worried about the front only, the DIY states lx's need whole front knuckle. But since im ex already can i just get v6 front hubs? I'm currently running v6 calipers and pads front with prelude rotors. Thx dnt bash me for not reading through the whole thread.

Ex - hubs only all the way around
Lx - hubs on front only, could get away with it on the rear if you feel like tearing down the entire brake system. I didnt, so I just swapped knuckles.
You don't NEED the whole knuckles, but that's how I did mine and IMO, it's easier to swap if you have drums.

If you don't have ABS, then no, you don't need it.

Has anyone on here upgraded their proportioning valve after going from drum to disk? I was looking at mine today and it looks similar to the 99-00 Si All disk non-ABS prop valve. im asking because my fronts lock up to fast under heavy braking.
