    Looking for Rear Disc Setup from 89 SE-i!

    If anyone is selling their 89 SE-i, let me know, as I want the rear disc brakes, e-brakes cables & porportioning valve from an 89 SE-i.

    Try an experiment for me.

    the 88-89 Acura Legend rear suspension looks exactly the same as the Accord sei rear suspension. Only difference is the Legend has rear calipers and rotors that are twice as big as the Accord ones. These cars are all over the place in junkyards and arent that rare so theyre easy to source.

    Only problems I can see is that the wheel studs are a different spacing but you can probably put on the Accord hub and just drill the new holes in the rotor. you could get the prop valve from the same car if the suspension bolts up. the ebrake cable will most likely have to come from an coord sei.

    If you can experiment with this it will open up a new way for people to do a rear brake swap. I would do it myself but have no time and my project money is focused on other things.

    just giving you an idea that could help you out if you cant source up an sei rear suspension.

    I have a Rear Caliper setup with prop valve from 89 se-i.. but NO e-cables. $50 + SH and they are yours. (that goes for anyone here... i need some cash, my Ma hates the sinking piece of junk in her backyard.)
    This useless space for sale, please inquire at the front desk.

    By setup, do you mean the whole control arm just not the ebrake cables? if so, i'm really interested

    The EX-i came with rear drums.The SE-i is the only model with rear discs.
    Stop bench racing and pick up a wrench

    Hmmmm.....Interesting......
    Well due to financial difficulties right now....(Just bought a H4 conversion instead)....This Rear Disc Swap will have to wait, yet again. Might look into this proposal though when I get time though.
