CRX Rear Disc Brake conversion

Just wanted to know how much is it to go to a junkyard and pick up 2 complete rear disc brakes including trailing arm? A guy wanted to sell me a set for $100? But needs to be cleaned up a bit. What you think i should go for?

Ya I paid 125 for mine from a junk. I got the sway bar too so that was the extra 25. That include calipers, but of course I needed new pads and rotors.

^^^^ Really? Where, if you have 88-91 EX knuckles, or integra knuckles you can re-drill 94 VTEC Prelude rotors and have a type-r sized brake setup. What most people don't know is that the Accord Wagon Calipers have IDENTICAL part numbers as a ITR. Go to honda and ask!!

Re: CRX Rear Disc Brake conversion

I did a rear disc conversion on my crx.. honestly I think it was a waste of time and even though I got them for free, I dont think the benifits are there unless you do some serious road racing. For the most part the stock drum brakes are more than adaqute. Your better off upgrading the front brakes to the 90-91 EX knuckle/setup.
