you only need the spindles/calipers/rotors, the control arms are the same except for the sway bar mounts. You will also need to use the ebrake cables since they are different lengths.I have a 1994 honda accord lx and im am wanting to change the rotors and i was wondering how?

You'll need special brake tools, some big auto parts stores have free loaners.



You'll also need to turn the rotors and drums so there is no low or high spots. Some auto parts stores do this for free for buying the pads and shoes.



You'll need a micrometer to measure that there is enough metal on the rotors and brake drums. Again most auto parts stores can do this for free.







As for doing the brake job, I recommend buying the correct Chilton's manual for your car. It will give you step by step instructions and pictures. It will also give the correct minimum manufacturer specs to make sure the brakes will work correctly.I have a 1994 honda accord lx and im am wanting to change the rotors and i was wondering how?
By %26quot;Changing the rotors%26quot; do you mean your doing a brake job? To convert to Rear discs is not hard,You only have to replace the upper and lower control arms and the spindle assy on both sides.Why bother?,The OEM Drum is a great unit when working properly.By Google surfing you will be able to find all the parts for a nice job.Good LuckI have a 1994 honda accord lx and im am wanting to change the rotors and i was wondering how?
take it to les schwab and get it professionally done cost about $200 but u get like a 50,000 mile warranty so it might seem a lilttle costly but well worth than doing it yourself
