I have a friend who desperately wants to do this to his 6th gen coupe. He says he's looked into it heavily and it's not possible. He's thinking of selling his car for this reason alone.

I never was able to get it out of him what the trouble was.

 

well...if u can achieve it on a 5th gen, there's no reason you shouldnt on a 6th. The only body difference between the lx and ex coupe is brakes and engine. Did the lx coupe come with abs? I think it was standard on the 6th gen.

I would do it if you can, cause a nice set of rims with drum brakes looks so weird. The extra stipping power is always nice too. Don't forget the EX has some extra weight too so it needs the disc brakes, so it should be a bigger improvement on the lighter LX.

 

I did this to my car a while ago. It was TOTALLY EASY. I did it 99% for cosmetic reasons, it was cheap and it looks a LOT better than those damn ugly drums. Braking power does not improve at all but the brakes seem to fade a lot less. For that it was 199% worth my time. Any questions feel free to ask I have pics and everything... 4th gen though...
