Jms. you just need the knuckle, and a set of hubs from the '80-'83 civic(also the outboard axle joint to put back on your shaft)and then a set of DX rotors/calipers and of course new bearings and seals, and when you put the bolts back in for the outside seal, don't forget to change them to a shallow bolt or screw(if you use the originals it will hit the hub when you press it back together)

Justin, I am doing this swap also (4X100 full disc setup), I just picked up the wagon knuckles, did I need to get the brake caliper and bracket also, because I left it there? Or would I only need that to do the 4X120 big brake conversion instead of a full 4X100 swap, discs all around.
Just gathering all the parts right now, I need to print off that list you put up on here...where ever it is.

I have just completed the rear wheel disc conversion and this is what I did (Thanks to Justin for the info).
I took my 91 civic rear hubs to my local machinist, who turned the inner land to accept a Koyo 68/28 2RS bearing, he machined the outer land to accept a Koyo 6304 2RS bearing and because there is not really enough of a bearing land internally behind the outer bearing to stop it from working off, he cut an inside groove for a circlip. ( total cost $120.00 for two hubs. I supplied the bearings.) Now I have completely replaceable bearings for under $30.00 per side....no extra seals are needed as the bearings have their own. I just removed the inner seal on each bearing and repacked in the normal way. Also had to trim .150" off the original internal spacer due to the 91 hub being a little narrower. In order to line up the Prelude calipers with the 92 SI rotors I required an additional shim of .200" behind the hub. To fit the Ebrake cables you will have to make a 1/2" thick shim to raise it from it's original mount or it will interfere with the strut mount. Hook it up and loop it around behind the strut and run it forward up beside the gas tank. The brake line was rebuilt using the original top fittings, and the banjo fitting from the prelude, with 3000# flex hose in between. Stainless outer sheathing was available for $20.00 more but was not considered worth it since both hoses come with a stainless braided interior wrap anyway. (total cost $55.00 for two sides by Coast Industrial in Victoria)
There you go...have fun. Cheers; Bob (in Victoria)

I have the 95 disk caliper and hub. I took them in to a machine shop to get the hub machined to take the 1200 berings. They said they cant get the outer race out of the hub. So I thought I must need the 88 - 91 hubs. I piced up a pair of them and they are the same.
So the first question is , is the outer race and the hub one peace.
The machine shop says they can't cut trough the race to fit in the 1200 berings.
The second question is how did you that have this converstion done get the hubs machined.
By Justin (207.102.0.6) on Friday, February 28, 2003 - 02:20 pm: |
The bearings are part of the hub, you only machine the outer portion of the hub to press in the 1200 bearing. the inner and outer stock bearing in the hub stays in place.
You will also need a caliper mounting bracket from the 84'-87' prelude si(it bolts in place of your stock drum)you also need the caliper bracket that bolts to the mount, you can then use the newer calipers..

Well I'm confused. The 88 - 91 hub will still use its stock berings? Does the 1200 axel stub stay stock. That is the 88 - 91 hub and stock 88 - 91 berings fit on to the 1200 axel stub? That is with the 1200 outer bering (wheel stud end of the hub)in the hub?

From what i gather your running 3 bearings in one hub... The middle bearing isnt doing anything..
????
By Justin (207.102.0.6) on Friday, February 28, 2003 - 05:23 pm: |
78si is correct the factory bearing in the hub(outer) is just there, your actually using the inner bearing(the hub uses the same size as the stock 1200)and your machining the outer portion of the hub to accept the 1200 bearing, you will also need to make up a spacer to center the hub/rotor in the center of the caliper bracket

i know that its just a stright forward converision to take the rear out of an 86-89 integra and put in a first gen crx...would it be the same for the frist and second gen civics

No

As I recall, the rear of the Integra's and CRX's is a straight axle, while the 1G's have 4 wheel MacPherson struts.
