When doing a conversion are the EX parts just plug and play? If not what parts do i need to take of the EX? Thanks.

If you want to do a SE rear disk break conversion. You are also going to need the ABS computer. If you don't get it your rear disk breaks will lock up. Then your going to be fucked going around 80 mph and trying to stop. But everything else should work out if you get all the parts off a SE Accord.

I'm planning to do the same thing. From my research, i've found out you need the following: Brake master cylinder from an all Disc Accord.
Brake proportioning valve
Rear left/right hub assembly
Parking brake assembly (cable and all such components)
This is all that i've found out so far. I could need more or less I'm not sure. There is a how-to swap from drums to disc on this March's issue of Honda Tuning I believe. It's done on a 96-97 Accord. I don't know how much different it would be. It would be something to check out though. Lots of useful info. If you come across something I didn't mention, please let me know. Good luck.....
Oh, yeah I almost forgot, I have a 90' Accord.......so no ABS for me. I'm quite sure that's another component to look into in your case.
