I have a 2000 accord sedan LX ...as you guys know they come in 4 lug im looking to convert to 5 lug if possible. Plez any info is helpful and appreciated.
You can get the rear disc assembly off of a 4cyl Accord Ex that has ABS. Which would include the spindle, caliper, brackets, soft brake lines, pad, rotor, etc... (COMPLETE). You'll need the hand brake cable too.TheUAccord23 said:Does anyone know if you can convert the rear drums to discs without having to do the 4lug-to-5lug conversion on a 6th gen? They have tons of these conversion kits for civics, but i've yet to find any for the 6th gen accord.
Legend caliper will bot bolt up to your 4cyl brake system. You need bigger rotor (ie V6 rotor). You can use your stock brake lines, they'll reach. The only problem you'll have is that V6 rotors are 5 lugs. I have a set of used V6 rotor with 4x114 bolt pattern for sale if your interested, just PM me. If you get my rotors all you'll need is Accord V6 rotor OR Legend 2 piston caliper.sonnieeeeboi said:does anyone know if the legend calipers will bolt up to a 6th gen i4 sedan? If no, what will i need to make it fit and will accord SS lines work with it?
I don't know if 5th gen prelude hub will work because it might be hub over rotor versus rotor over hub. I think the knuckles are different because of the difference in wheel base size.accord20o1 said:hey guys i was wondering if the 5th gen preludes hub fit the accords? are the knucks the same? i need to know if the front and rear fits.. thanks!

Let me know how your proportion valve conversion works. I wasn't able to change my proportion valve, because Accords w/ rear disc has ABS, which means that the proportion valve has 2 ports versus 4 ports on our 4 cyl rear drum w/out ABS. (could have the # of port mixed up between I4 & V6, its been awhile since i've attempted to change the proportion valve).rmrf23 said:I picked up a 5 lug knuckle and caliper setup off of a 1999 v6 EX off of ebay for about $275 shipped.
Really lucky and great deal at the time.
I picked up the proportioning valve, new pads, and new rotors and am a set of SS brake lines away from doing the swap.
Should be fairly easy to where I can do it in about 6 hours taking my time on a sunday and drive it up to my alignment shop monday morning to make sure she's straight![]()

I really dont have the money to do this from trial and error (and I'm sure many other members on this board has the same concern).

I was wondering if you did this to a 5 Gen V6 Accord?did a 4 to 5 lug swap as well as a rear disc brake upgrade while i got my engine swap done.
I was wondering as to what type of an Accord you used these parts for, that is a Gen 5 I4 or V6, and your success thanks. frankI picked up a 5 lug knuckle and caliper setup off of a 1999 v6 EX off of ebay for about $275 shipped.
