Are there any stock parts from a different car that are swapable to the 95 accord to convert from drum to disc brakes? For example maybe parts from an acura of some kind. Or are there any inexpensive conversion kits out there that are good quality? PLEASE let me know thanks for all your help

Whoring... ? Anyways, does our ABS prevent us from making burnouts? I don't know crap about our ABS system, but i read in my 97 owner's manual if the car senses that the tires are slipping, it pumps the brakes for you. Does your foot have to be on the brake pedal in order for the brakes to pump, or does it do it automatically? I believe a person has to be push the brake pedal in order enable the fast pump braking procedure, but someone told me that whenever our Accords sense too much force, or if the tires slip, that the brakes automatically pump in order to slow you down. I personally don't believe that. I don't have ABS (just rear drums), but i do want rear discs on my 97 Accord SE. Can't i just use my cylinder and brake booster that i already have and just plug in the rotors, calipers, and brake lines, or do i need an entire ABS from another Accord doner to make my car have rear disc?

Well you are right on one point, ABS (anti-lock brake system) only works in panic braking situations. When you jam down on the brakes to the point where the wheels would lock up with normal brakes the ABS automatically pumps the brakes for you to prevent the wheels from locking up. What you are talking about with the burnouts and a computer system not allowing them is called TCS (traction controll system) and I don't believe that was an option on most accords. It only really useful in snowy or wet driving.

Does all EXs come with the ABS? I thought ABS was an optional.
But I believe all EXs comes with rear disc brakes... :D

The 92-96 prelude suspension and brake setup is the same as the 94-97 accord. So you can also use the lude for the parts too.

if you can go to the yard and rip off rear disc's from an SE or LE. and they will fit on any of your 94-97 accords.
