ok so i better start looking for some sei coupe ebrake cables huh...anyone know where to start lol
i'm not sure about the 4 dr vs. 2 dr cables being different...don't think there is one but I don't know the correct answer to that. But i priced out some at that website and they were like 60-75 bucks if i was looking at the right item.
I'm doing this same coversion for my kids car...you might be prepared to rebuild the calipers if they are questionable. I'm having to upgrade the front discs too...the lx are smaller than the lx-i's/sei's. That brings me to a question...there's ton's of lx-i's in the jy...can i use the front hub assembly off one of those? They are same as the se-i's correct?
I was getting the setup off a jy car and only got some of what i needed...when i went back to get the rest the car was gone...they sold it...arggghhh. But while i'm locating another sei i'm doing the calipers up right. Will have all 4 ready to go...new rubber...all polished parts...casing sandblasted and painted. I have exploded pics of the rear calipers if you need them for any reference
Also...i'm considering redoing the bearings while I have everything apart...I hope this is all worth it. Estimate that running about $50 bucks to have them pressed in.
Another tip...the online manual is very helpful. I'm not sure of the link but you can find it w/ a search.
see this is how all newbies should be! he searched, found the right info and even knows a lot more than i do. then i again i know nothing lol
you get my vote for newbie of the year powder!

check on the sizes...i was able to pull the front calipers from the se-i and have rebuilt them so i guess i can snag the hub assemble from an lx-i...that just leaves me the rear assembly,cables, proportioning valve...thanks.
You can get all the parts for the swap direct from honda, so ant bits, and peices you need, you can get from them.
