Default brake conversion ?'s

1992 Civic DX Hatch.................will be swapping in b18c1 and want to upgrade my brakes to compensate for added power. do i need to go with bigger rotors ala fastbrake rear disc conversion w/ front 11" discs or can i just swap EX rear discs/trailing arm etc and leave stock front rotors? thanks

are these gsr brakes really bolt ons?

just get the rear discs, and the gsr fronts. yes they bolt on. then get a gsr proportioning valve and master cylinder, and some good brake pads, and youll be set. thats my setup, and i love it.

i feel like i didn't ask the right way, what i mean is do i need to replace the trailing arm, because according to one of the ads, he's saying that the discs etc.. will bolt onto my existing drum trailing arm. thanks

yeah, youll need the trailing arms. by "just' i meant just the rear discs VS the aftermarket big brakes. you will need basically the whole rear assembly. but it goes on pretty easy. the parking brake cables are the hardest part, but make sure you use the ones that come with the disc brakes and its not too hard.
