here's one for a 97 civic, still looking for a 02 diy, it's a bit harder to find since it's newer and not as common.

I actually have NEVER seen a rear disk conversion done on a civic past 2000. I'd be interested to find out how it is different from what I had to do on a 5th gen.

the reason pre-'01 models can do it is because of the swap from other cars(integras). i believe the only cars that have rear discs stock on 7th gens are SI's, and i think they have a different suspension setup than the lower models. there might be a kit to do the conversion, but its prolly big bucks. personally, i've never seen it done. IMO, its not worth the hassel/money at all either unless ur building a hella nice show car. just get some nice pads and call it a day.
