Upgrading My Ek3 Brakes

[Circuit Duty Civic]

hey guys ive currently got a ek3 hatch running drums on the rear and piss poor small discs on the front all factory and a mate has for sale his 4x100 hubs and brakes off his eg civic that was SiR so bigger fronts and disc brake rears that i was thinking of buying(cheap cheap). would they straight swap and if not what do i need to get this done?

[MIKE_D]

Should be straight swap in the front - dont need to fit whole hubs, only discs and callipers, for the rear you will need to fit your lower arms to the EG trailing arms, other than that it should all bolt up, correct me if im wrong anyone

[Circuit Duty Civic]

shot dude il start looking inot those parts anyone else got some info to put this to concrete before i go spending money again lol

[Robbie]

dont spend money..... you know were the hubs live, and if you forgot... i do

but on a serious note, what about running a handbrake cable to rears? im asuming you will have to track it back to the handbrake inside, as drums are different?

[Horny_Devil]

as far as i know the trailing arms are the same and like mike_d said u just have to change the LCA.

ull need the disc handbrake cable too

[Robbie]

ahh true, well your guna have to sorce a handbrake cable then justin! are they hard to run? im sure someone posted up a thread on how to fit disc hubs from drums, but im amature.... cant find it
