When you do your final edits to the document, will you makes sure you include a known compatible parts list outside of the coveted bracket and hardware package (ie: oem calipers and ebrake cables). Iam assuming that the standard DA integra calipers and cables will work, but wonder about fitment of any newer ex or si calipers. Just wanna be on the lookout while you continue your final R&D. Thanks!

Honda used the same caliper on the back of the CRX Si, 92-00 Civics, and 90-01 Integras.
The bracket can be found on any of the 02-5 Civic Si and 02-6 RSX. It is possible the brackets from the TSX, TL, and Accords from similar vintages could be used as well, but I haven't been able to verify if that is the case.
Rear pads are from the Civic Si and RSX.
Still sorting out the rear cables. DA Integra cable will work, but they are long and the mounts do not line up with the chassis and trailing arms very well. Still have to try the CRX cable to see where they line up.
I just tried today to swap over the trailing arms from a FWD Wagon and EF9 ones, and saw it was not possible to do it, so i googled and came up to that thread. Very nice job from Lowflyin' !! Hope you get the time one day to make it the bracket for FWD. Cheers
The caliper bracket from a 92-00 Civic will not place the caliper out far enough to fit over the 260mm rotor and a 240mm rotor will not put the caliper out far enough to stay out of the RTA.
I need this already! I was working on my rear brakes today after one side locked up randomly... i can't figure out what's wrong, and they won't stay in adjustment/self adjust, new adjusters and such. Drum brakes suck balls to work on.
In the Install Guide, you mention 'Cable Adapter Bracket' as an included part, but never mention it in the install guide. What is this adapter bracket you speak of? are we retaining the drum ebrake after all?
If you will be pressing out the hubs, I would strongly encourage installing new bearings.
The backing plate can be cut and removed around the hub assembly, but it is a tight space and will take some time and care. I used a plasma cutter for the install on my wagon, and I know that is a tool that isn't all that common for the garage mechanic.
I've made some updates to the proposed pricing tiers, the basic kit will now include brake hoses.
I have the basic and inclusive tiers laid out with pricing, so I'm a couple days late on getting that info to you...but I will have a post in the vendor section by tomorrow night or I won't go to sleep until it is posted!
If there are enough Euro members I will be happy to take a group package to my military address. This could potentially save some money (no international shipping, no customs), and save lowflyin some time as I will take care of all the euro member shipments.
Hey guys, I appreciate your patience on the release of this.
I am doing this in my spare time, as I do work for a company in the automotive aftermarket bringing new products to the fueling segment, I don't always have free nights.
I am ~95% to getting this finalized, along with getting the LLC set up.
I can relate on not having the free time you would like, so thanks for the update on this. I appreciate your attention to testing and getting completely setup before pushing this out. Patiently waiting for official availability.....
Take your time because I would rather have a great product late then a subpar product early! Nobody has done this before and we have lived with not having an aftermarket market for all these years a few more days/weeks we can handle I am sure.
Just an update, I know its been forever. I have a rear disc prototype, however it requires 15" wheels most likely cause its an 11" disc. However it uses a regular civic caliper, WILL allow for the e-brake and requires no cutting into the trailing arm. I want to test this locally in GA on a 2WD version first, as the hubs bolt on, should there be a problem, and the adapters I made will fit the 2WD and 4WD trailing arms/spindles. Sorry for the severe lack of updates, I haven't forgotten. Anyone with a 2WD wagon willing to be a guinea pig? EDIT: Sorry nevermind, I see a rear disc adapter has finally been made already. Can't figure out where that guy found the space that I could not.

I still have a couple of details to iron out, but I will get a initial production run post in the Approved Vendors forum by this weekend.
(because i've already have them)
Have you decided which ebrake cable is the optimal one?

Yes, very good stuff indeed.
I will paypal you a deposit now if it makes you feel any better.
It's getting realer by the day.
Very nice!
