if you have 86-87 LXI you can do that, since you have carbed accord.
If you have 88-89 LXI, you can't do that. 88-89 LXI and SEI had bigger brakes in the front. I think you have to change the hole spindle assembly. I may be wrong, but you can try.

So if i swap the whole spindle it would be fine? I dont have to change the master cylinder do i ? Are they different on the two models? later

if you change the spindle you have to change rims too. the lxi came with 14"rims and the carbed came with 13" steelies i think

Yeh i figured i would have to change the wheels. One more question what will happen if i dont change the master cylinder? does it damage something? later
