Default Full 5-lug and rear disc brake conversion

I started piecing this together in Feb, Ebay and Car-part.comwere my friends in finding most or all of the parts. Only missing a few misc parts which will be on order in the next month or so along w/ new coilovers soon after.

Parts List - All are from a 98-02 Accord V6

Current parts I have are in bold:

- Front Left and Right knuckles
- Rear Left and Right knuckles
- Rear 4cyl Calipers (same as V6)
- Front V6 Calipers
- Brand new TSX wheels (I gotone helluva deal)
- 225/45/17 Tires
- R/H E-brake cable
- L/H E-brake cable
- Stainless steel 4cyl EX or V6 brake lines
-Pads, rotors (5-lug)
- Future upgrade to V6 master cylinder, probably won't need it but I'll keep it in mind.
- D2 Coilovers

Just ordered from TAS...

V6 brake package
L/H E-brake cable
R/H E-brake cable
Inner Tie Rod X2
R/H Outer Tie Rod
L/H Outer Tie Rod

Gettin the SS brake lines from summit in a few days as well as the front calipers and the bolts that hold the rear caliper to the knuckle. I also got a free $20 gift certificate from the local Goodyear that I went to last year for new tires, alignment, and to have my axle replaced. So when I'm all done w/ this I'll be using that towards a 4 wheel alignment.[/align]

Sorry for the silly question, but what do you have now that you’re converting? Can V6 break parts go on the 4cyl? For 2000? Thanks,

I have a 98 4cyl w/ rear drums. Yes all the parts I have will fit on any other accord from 98-02.

This is going to sound dumb, however i am still learning and am pretty sure i know the answer, for a 5 lug conversion on a 96 accord, do you have to convert to reardisks? Not that i don't prefer disks to drums ,but $$$ is an issueand have a sweet deal on some 5lug wheels so looking to convert

I dont know if you have a firestone in your area, but the company offers a lifetime alignment package where you pay only 150 and you have get an alignment as much as you for for the time you own the car.

its helpful if you have a lowered car because you'll constantly need an alignment from raising and lowering your car.

Umm...you should only need an alignment like once or twice a year, max.

And this thread is over a year old.
