DIY- LX 5 Lug and Rear Disc Swap

[Sketch o5]

you don't need a length, what you need are 'EX 4yl or V6 parking brake lines'...as it says in the 8th line down in the original post.

I wonder why the guy at O'Reilly's kept asking me to choose a length, then. Thanks.

because the majority of auto parts store employees are idiots.

Because he doesnt know wtf he's talking about. Just go to the dealer.

I bought 2 front knuckles from a 03 TL-S. I believe these should bolt on with no problems but are the rotors and calipers the same as the v6 accord?

 

[BlkCurrantKord]

Yes they're the same

I have an EX w/ rear disc brakes. About to get this done.

Last night I put together this list of parts. I know Thermoquiets are good as I'm running them now but any recommendations (i.e. If I should opt for a better quality part) would be appreciated!

Front
Hubs: Dorman
Bearings: Timken
V6 Rotors: Raybestos
V6 Brake Pads: Wagner Thermoquiets
V6 Calipers: Acura Legend Calipers (already bought)

Rear
Hub & Bearing Assemblies: Raybestos
V6 Rotors: Raybestos
I4 Brake Pads: Wagner Thermoquiets

Total: ~ $400

Not bad for all new parts.

So, I finally found a place that has the parts I need. You're probably going to think I'm high for asking, but doing this conversion won't affect my suspension, will it? I only ask becaus I specifically bought my coils for the i4, rather than the V6. I suppose that may only have to do with the weight distribution difference between the models.

It won't affect your suspension. If you read from the beginning I did this on my 4cyl w/ coils.
