want to ask if 5 bolts conversion from 01-03 Cl-S will work on our cars or not

Rear calipers have two differences: the piston has a slot on the coupe and a plus sign shaped slot on the sedan as well as the bracket for the parking brake line. The coupe is slightly shorter. They both will work if doing a swap, and the pads are the same.

i don't know for sure, but i would think it would. people have used 2nd gen tl spindles in the past and that has worked. the 2nd gen tl's and cl's share the same suspension with the accord, so it probably would work.

Thanks, time to pay a visit to junk yard for 5 bolts conversion

I bought knuckles when I did my swap and luckily I was able to get them from a v6 sedan so everything lined up perfectly. There is no difference in the front calipers, only the rear

Where did you buy your knuckles? That's the only part O'Reilly's didn't carry.

Also, what length brake lines/parking break lines would I need for my '98 Lx i4? They gave me six different lengths and I just priced the longest one.

I got them from a junkyard when I was visiting Michigan

Thanks! That's a pretty useful site. I'm trying to avoid the junk yard since I'm the most knowledgeable about cars of anyone I know (that's not saying much), and I don't feel confident deciphering between a good knuckle and a bad one.

Why did I bother making a parts list if no one wants to read it

Not sure if you're referring to me, but I didn't see a specified parking brake line length.

I figured too long would be better than going too short.
