I wana know if I do the rear disc brake conversion on my 86 accord lx by takin the rears from an SE-i and get all new cross drilled rotors for the front and back, and get it lowerd will I be able to put some 15 or 16 inch spoon sports SW388 or some Rota Slipstreams(copycat Spoon rims) on my car? I also would like to know of a good spring to put on the car i wana have a really low and aggressive look, I dont want it to bounce a whole whole lot, but juuuussst a little bit of bounce, Thanks.

P.S Tell me about how much It would cost to do the rear disc brake conversion, thanx

The struts you choose will determine how much your car bounces, not the springs. Why would you WANT it to bounce?

You can put the slip streams on, but not Spoon's, they are only in 5 lug, and they will run you around $1000 for the rims and tires, but the rotas with rubber will only be around $500-600... and don't get cross drilled rotors, they will eventually crack and start to break apart...

Get Rota's, spoons are to spendy, plus its hard to find a dealer with them in the U.S. that sells them for under $1000. Plus if people know they are real Spoon's I promise your car will get jacked, or one mornign it will be sitting on blocks, trust me i have a few friends who go and look for parts to permanently borrow, and one of the things at the top of the list is spoon's, but if you get them get some damb good locks for them. Like for example on my rims, 3 of my 4 lug nuts are differently sizes, and they adapters needed are very hard to get ahold of, so what ever you go don't get the Gorilla lugs, cuz anyone can get the key for them at les Schwab for $6...

you can get some Rota slipstreams for 540 a set from Jaydm.com
they are Spoon knockoffs but neverless highly recommended wheels.

I'm planning on getting some Rota Subzero's. 17 inch rims are about 16 lbs. Pretty light! my old rims were 23 lbs. they are 550 shipped i think.
