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.

Just a question about the rear and front hub.
The v6s came with the wheel sensor that is mounted on the knuckle. Do i need to have that installed on mine aswell? I have an LX and they don't come with ABS

 

[BlkCurrantKord]

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.
