you might be able to get the parts new thru one of the dealers or you can try here http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com/auto/jsp/mws/PartsSearch.jsp

[russiankid]

You need the following:
Rear hub assembly or the whole trailing arm.
E-brake cables.
Proportioning valve.
Master Cylinder unless you have an LX-i one already.
Front calipers unless you already have an LX-i.

Recommend:
New brake lines.
New pads and rotors.
Fluid flush.

picture perfect thanks hahaha but hey this is a lil off topic but you seem to do alot in this place and i was wondering if you knew of anyone selling some strut tower bars for our 3 gs do you or can i fab some with some direction from here???

[Dr_Snooz]

It was a "Special Edition," last model year, please-don't-go-buy-the-redesigned-Camry sweetener. They're rare and getting more so. Someone was selling a set of the rear discs in the Trading Post earlier this month. Not sure if they're still there.

nice to see another CT member with a black coupe too! i have definitely seen that car before. Did you buy it off some kid in Southington?? I saw in another post that you messed up the CF hood. I have one that I am thinking about selling. are you interested?

[markmdz89hatch]

Damn, I didn't even realize you were in CT until Steve just said something.

If you need any help with the rear disc swap, don't hesitate to ask.

As mentioned already, the SE-i was an '89 only, and only came in sedan or coupe, no hatch. All SE-i's had factory leather interior, and a cupholder insert in place of the cassette holder in the center console.

If I were you, just concentrate on getting the knuckles, caliper brackets, e-brake lines, and prop.valve. I would purchase reman'd calipers from AutoZone or some other parts store, and get bfg (or some other brand) stainless brake lines, along with a new set of rear rotors and pads. The hubs are the same, so if yours are good, and the donors are crap, you can swap them easily. Although it's much more expensive to get the new calipers, and lines, it's much safer.

Good luck, and check out the Let's Meet section to get in on a local meet for this year.

hahahaha sorry dont klnow what to say besides god damn shipping prices these days hahaha

[88ctlxi]

got another question do you guys think i can use the rear disc setup out of a prelude would that work or do the preludes sit with a wider wheel stance like the upper and lower control arms are longer cause if not it might work with a lil bit of cutting and welding any body question that one???

[markmdz89hatch]

As far as I know, the only fully 'bolt-on' full knuckle assembly is a direct swap from an SE-i. As for switching the hardware and fitting it to the stock drum knuckle, I have no idea. For the full knuckle assembly swap from some other rear-disc equipped car, I'm even more in the dark.

It's far more then just the length of the knuckle. It's the suspension mounting point locations, how many, and what type of susp setup it has. There's also length (or height) as you mentioned, but don't forget about the curvature of the knuckle too. Then the bearing/hub assembly.

Although the preludes are similar looking, from the same vintage, have rear disc, and a 4x100 lug pattern, my guess is the similarities stop there.

I'm not saying don't try it, in fact, please do as long as it won't cost you anything if it does'nt work, after all that's how we found that the front calipers are interchangeable with some 'teg and civic's and the rear calipers w/ the legend. (don't quote me on those interchanges, it's been a long time.)

Here's some rebuilt calipers:

[snoopyloopy]

yeah, 1989 se-i is the only source for rear discs. i happen to have two sets sitting in my garage. (could have a third, but no market makes my spending money on them fruitless so the other set probably got crushed.) i found them at the jy, they each came out to being about $200 for each set. if your jy has half off days and you happen to find them, they end up being cheaper. however, they are quite heavy, and even with the discs and calipers removed (which can be shipped in a separate box cheaply), the hubs themselves still weigh a fortune each and are rather bulky as well.

Those don't look like the 89' rear calipers:huh:

[markmdz89hatch]

I just checked out the auction. There's a little disclaimer there that says ALL CALIPER PHOTOS ARE GENERIC. Agreed though, that's not our caliper in the pic.

Oh ok just keeping an eye out. I have rear disc brakes so for a second there I was like :wtf:

[MessyHonda]

i got 89 legend rear calipers waiting to go on

[88ctlxi]

got another question for you guys can i use the rotors from ebc on this page for the front would they work or is the diameter to small heres the site adress http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/EBC-BRAKE-DISC-honda-ACCORD-88-89-1988-1989-part-CAR_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1713Q2em153Q2el1262 QQcategoryZ33564QQihZ024QQitemZ370054006916

[MessyHonda]

i would call them and make sure that they are the right ones.

Honestly, that fittment schedule listed is a load of crap. I like how they say that these rear discs will only fit 88-89 Sedans, but will fit all trim levels. Just like Messy said, I would give them a call.

But that said, at that price, I'm just about positive you can find the same (or comparable) rotors somewhere else, and have a more definitive and correct fittment schedule.

Although they are pretty expensive, I am a huge fan of the Brembo c/d rotors. hmm... maybe I'll start a thread about all the aftermarket rotors and reviews of them for our cars....

their vehicle application list is wrong to begin with because unless the car is swapped, the discs are ONLY going to work on the se-i.

well that being said i went and looked at other stores on ebay and heres an awesome store for discs heres a link for them well for the 88 and up lxi and sei:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Honda-Accord-88-89-SEI-Si-slot-FT-brake-discs-rotors_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1742Q2em153Q2el1 262QQcategoryZ33564QQihZ004QQitemZ140236527687

and for the lx and dx:

and im sure you guys are wondering i did ask them and you can choose from any pattern on there page well for the lxi and sei anyway but im pretty sure they will do the same for dx and lx models also

[88ctlxi]

i also took it upon myself since markmds89hatch didnt i made a thread on what rotors you have and what you thought

[markmdz89hatch]

at the price, it doesn't seem to me that it would be all that bad. I would be willing to give a full set (front and rear) of the F1 series a shot with Axxis pads.

[snoopyloopy]

yeah, that price definitely isn't bad. i paid $150/set fronts and $130/set rear for ebc discs a couple weeks ago.

[88ctlxi]

yeah deff a good price i think if i had to choose from all of those hahaha id get either the sprints or the shanks there pretty sweet looking and there both cross drilled and slotted

[LiTtLe xOx BitT]

if your looking for rear drilled slotted rotors and pads lat me know i have a new set.
