yesterday was my first time servicing drum brakes. wheel cylinder hardware shoes and drum and ss braided line. drums are for the birds. i spent all day doing one side and cleaning my rims. ill finish the other today. i also replaced everything up front: calipers, pads, hardware and stainles steel braided lines. in the end its extremely worth it on these 20-30 year old vehicles that had been driving most of the time. the wheel cylinder basically exploded as soon as i removed the pressure from the shoes. for my 2003 civic ex i spent abiut 500 on all of the brake components i mentioned. do not i repeat do not buy the 30 dollar ss brake line kits off ebay. they will send wrong shit and deny it. but i think autizone had the correct lines for like 60 bucks ...
Glad to know it's not too complicated... on a Honda Civic. I hope that the ease of this is similar on my Saturn Ion. I have much more research to do though, such as seeing what exactly is underneath my rear hubs.
Huh. I’ve wanting to do this on my 2008 Ford Escape for a while now. Still gonna let the professionals handle it, but good to know that it doesn’t seem super complicated.
I've heard the EP3 calipers are tricky. You're absolutely not supposed to pull the handbrake lever before bleeding, some calipers even come with a little warning tab for this, but I don't know what effect driving on them without a cable would have. Hope it worked out.
I’m late to the party, but this is by far the most informative walkthrough without giving too much info. Precisely to the point and all. Question did u change the propositioning valve ?
Hey, great video bro. One question, where did you get the brackets for the e brake cable? I've done a disc swap on my EK straight out of a DC2. Everything is in place except the bracket for the e brake cable. Help would be really appreciated. Thanks.
Best purchase I’ve made price wise, nothing has failed or gave me issues. Definitely will consider this route in the future. If anything ever fails I’ll make it known but so I highly recommend
Depends on the model. My EG came stock with discs. EU market EG5 ESi. Drum brakes actually work better as a parking brake, but they heat up faster if you brake alot, that's why sports cars come with discs, and economy cars with drums.
Did you swap out your proportioning to disk brake version one? Imma do a rear disk on mine eg soon. Some people say u need to change others says it fine to use the drum brake one.
@@Adam_Bap. Thank you for the kind reply dear sir. If you haven't done so, I would highly recommend steel brake lines. While it does nothing in the esthetics department, you will reap great rewards in the terms of driving feel.
It actually does improve braking performance. You should be able to feel a noticeable difference in brake response with disc brakes over drums. Discs have a higher brake torque at the same diameter compared to drums.
Didn’t know drum to disk conversion was this easy!
Most people swap the whole rear trailing arm and call it a day, I put DA Integra rear trailing arms on my 97 ex coupe
Rip that spilt brake fluid, I was dying when i heard u making that noise😂
The best thing about the video, is the smile on your face while you are doing this, i like the happy vibe 🎉
8:53 “NOOOOOO”😂💀💀💀
you forgot to dent the axle nut into the grove so it cant undo it self. other than that, great video man, looks super simple im ordering my kit too!

quality stuff bro, keep it coming bother!
Hey this will be the same set up for the CRX?
Thanks for the vid, I really like listening to you ❤
What did you use for e-brake cable? Did you go for an Integra e-brake cable?

The eg looking nice man 🫡🔥🔥
Thanks bro 💪🏾
Do you have any idea if this work with other brands? Toyota or nissan?
Ok so what that set up be similar for a 99 Honda Accord 2.3l
i have those same needle nose pliers. great video!
Can I put a dust shield behind the disc in the process ?
Yes, it would mount to the adapter. Make sure the dust cover has the 4 bolt mounting points and your are good to go
@@Adam_Bap. Alright thank you
Can you do this conversion to the del sol as well?
I’m late to the party, but this is by far the most informative walkthrough without giving too much info. Precisely to the point and all. Question did u change the propositioning valve ?
Very well done
Trying to do this on my ‘85 316 e30
*_I got to do this on my 97 EK hatch 🥹_*

Bracket that connects to the caliper or or the chassy?
You need 99/00 si cables
Bro why didnt you use rust converter and then paint it inside to keep it from rusting out even more?
Bro thats an awsome upgrade!!! Where did you buy the parts?
Links in the description bro💪🏾
@@Adam_Bap. are those rear calipers from and integra or SI?? What year model?
What E-brake cable you end up going with?
I was looking for this also
Me too really interested on knowing which cable to use.
Do you know what dust sheild would fit for the conversion, and also what plate would fit for my 93 civic coupe EX AT. Thank you!
Now that you've had a month or so with these eBay part - how are they working out for you? (Considering this for my '97 Del Sol)
Best purchase I’ve made price wise, nothing has failed or gave me issues. Definitely will consider this route in the future. If anything ever fails I’ll make it known but so I highly recommend
I wonder why Honda made drums standard and not disc. Could it be because drums are cheaper? They’re def more complex than disc…
its cheaper and the breake power it had was enough

It would be an investment to do it! but no, I haven't swapped mine. Haven't had any problems so far
Thank you, I ordered my disc conversion plates, need just the calipers,pads and rotors! no ebrake cebles!!! jk
Ill just get them later lol
You still used the hubs from the drum brakes?
@@KUNjdms I did
@@Adam_Bap. thanks man...
This the same for EK?
yessir
how has this held up?? are these true and tested? im sick so looking for teggys in the yard but dont wanna buy this and die.
@@skinnyvinny2070 haven’t had any failures since I posted, I can say it’s worth it
@@Adam_Bap. awesome thanks by guy ordering now
Will this all work for a 99 civic ex? Is it all the same?
Yes
Hehehe interesting and Big update from the drums.
Nice seats too!
watching from india
8:51 😂 well that sucks
Bro spilled the brake fluid 😂😭
Thank you bru
Can you do my brakes next
I got you for a small price of $98k, I’ll have it ready by next year
Nice bro make more videos
Drums. Last longer. You waste more brake pads with the conversion.
The only thing good about the conversion is in the esthetics department while it contributes to no tangible improvement in performance.
Correct, upgrading your brakes defiantly won't increase the braking performance. great tip bro

@@Adam_Bap. 🤣
@@moshet842 I know i was just being sarcastic lol, but there is a major difference when it comes to braking. Very noticeable
Nooooo the brake fluid.
What was the name of the kit you purchased,
