Hi guys, will the OEM calipers of an EG civic bolt on to the honda fit/jazz?

 

Im also curious as to if SIR (EG, EK, EF etc) calipars, rotors, pads and lines will bolt up to the front no problems and what is involved in the rear to convert to disc...

 

Yup! I've done it with EK parts for rear, converted from drum brake type to disc brake.
Front 295mm AP Racing Brake Kit for Honda Fit with APP Brake Line.
Rear modified from EK4+pad, AEM slotted rotor 286mm diameter.

if fit convert the drum brake to disc brake of ek, it need any modification?? will it effect the function of abs?

 

Yeah so what EK parts will i need to convert the rear to just a standard EK disc setup?

Disc
Calipar
Pads
Lines

What else? Is there a mounting point for the calipar?

 

ABS only applies on the front wheels with the way the Jazz is set up so changes to the rear won't have any impact on it.

 

Knuckle shaft for mounting the Caliper.

 

you mean we would need to replace even the knuckle to fit the EK calipers?

 

i really don't understand which parts you replaced
since the EK is double wishbone
and the GD is torsion bar

so you can't just use the EK trailing arm

 

for the front it won't work
i do belive the fronts are the same as the DC chassis
the EG brakes are smaller

 

Thanks. Was it an easy conversion? I have also heard there are some problems with the length of the hand brake cable. How did you get around this and did you use a EK item or the original Jazz Fit one?

I bet the larger brakes and especially the Discs on the rear make quite a nice difference

 

yeah i'd love to learn how to do the rear disc with parts avail to the US market
i'll probably be doing 11" brakes in the front...and would like to maintain a good brake bias

track pads in the front with a stock rear drum...is gonna make the rear end feel really light and twitchy

 

i got a problem with my car when i drive very slowly, got a bit noise at front tyre there.something like metal to metal one" KI....KI....KI.....KI ", something like that, when drive at normal speed then no noise already.anyone who got face this problem b4??

 

Yup! The handbrake cable also must be replaced with EK part.

 

Did you also replace the proprotioning valve with one from the EK? I know that when rear disk conversions are done on other hondas it needs to be replaced because drum/disk run at different pressures.

 

I will be interested to see the cost of this and how easy/hard it will be

 

Actually drum brakes require more pressure than disc brakes so you might be able to get away with the standard proportioning valve.

 

Hi I am new here and i need help.. I look for Bodykit.. If anybody read my message please send me

 

i know for sure front EG brake parts can be used. If i recall the hub assembly and brake rotors are the same. We had to quick source some when the Spoon fit needed some parts day before a 25hour race. ill see if i can find out EXACTLY which cross over.

 

hi thanks for the reply! acutally i want to confirm if the EG caliper does bolt on? not just the rotors
