I'll believe it when I've seen it. So many owners want/promise to complete this. Quite frankly, the drums work fine. That mated with a good front brake upgrade an you're more than set!
Either way, I'd be interested in picking up a kit if it ever becomes available.
I know how that goes Fake, that's why I kept the project under wraps for as long as I did.
The bracket has been through 2 revisions and it looks like it is going to need one more tweak before it gets finalized. Apparently creating something in 3D space is more difficult than the Internet makes it out to be.

The conversion will use the standard 88-00 Civic/Integra rear caliper and 02-3 Civic Si Rear Disc. The caliper bracket (not the bracket for the bracket) is still being finalized as is the pad...but they will be an easy to find OE part.
2 weeks is going to be pushing it. My next two weekends are going to be taken up with personal/life time (my birthday is July 1), so it's looking more like mid-end of July.
Very nice. I have been intending to just weld up a one-off set, since brakeexpert hasn't come through. If you have a bolt-on solution, so much the better.
Just jumped into an 89' RT a short while ago, I have a full rear disc conversion sitting around was meant for my hatch, however, lets just say she got pretty banged up before I could do the install. Regardless, I see this thread has been going on for years, I'm glad to see LowFlyin' has begun to develop a bracket system. I am totally in for a kit once all the details are ironed out. Keep up the good work and thank you.
I appreciate that. It isn't a matter of funding, I've decided to go ahead and do it even if it means I'm the only that's going to do it. It really just comes down to time. All of my friends have seemed to be wanting to get married these past couple of months.
I have next weekend slated to get design 3 and possibly design 4 (hopefully not, but I am budgeting time for it) completed and test fitted so i can get the final design to the machinist the week after.

awesome good luck
do you have a round about price for the brackets? or everything needed to run discs?

Well done! When can I get a set to review?!?!?
right after he mails me mine.
i am going to hold off on my rear brakes for 2 weeks. if this is for sale and finalized i want some for the rear.
what e brake setup will be used?
I've been working on it off and on for about a year and half now.
Might take one kit if the price is right and I can find other things in EU.
I'd be in for a set.
That is one thing I want to do on my wagon but have not mustered the courage to do.
Id be in too, so include two pair to save on shipping! :encouragement:
Yep on that one.
It should be. The 02-03 Civic Si rear disc has similar dimensions as the 04-05 Civic Si rear disc.
