OK, since there is no "How to" for the rear disc brake conversion, here is a little write up of how I did mine. Moderators do your thing if it qualifies as a "how to"
1. Buy your disc set up (any 90-2001 Integra, 90-91 CRX Si, 92-2000 Civic or 93-97 Del Sol with rear discs will work)
2. Since you'll have the rear end completely disassembled, check for any tear or anything that needs to be replaced (i.e: bushings, brake lines, stock shocks, etc.) and check your master cylinder and booster in case they need to be replaced.
3. BE SAFE!!! :!:. I know everybody here would rather hear from you asking how to fix something in your car than hear that you got hurt fixing your car. BE SAFE.
Items needed:
-Your car, lol.
-Brake set up
-E-brake cables from a 90-91 CRX Si
-4040 prop valve (you'll need a 2040 CRX Si prop valve if you are keeping your stock front calipers, I am upgrading mine to EX or DA calipers.)
-Bunch of tools (don't remember the actual sizes)
-Jack and jack stands (a car lift would be the best if you have access to one)
-Bleeder pump ($25 on autozone)
-Brake parts cleaner
-Brake fluid
-A good friend who can help you hold stuff
-And music so you wont be bored
*Before you start, replace the E-brake cables, clean and replace whatever you need to while the parts are still out.
