Drums or Disks?

Drums or Disks?
I have a 1997 Honda Civic 2-door EX and wanted to know if they come with rear disk brakes. I have drums on mine. I ask this because I ordered some break parts and they sent me disks for the rear. So now they are telling me I have to pay shipping to send the parts back.
Is there any web site that has all of the possible combos for Civic of differing years?

I was checking out rear brake conversions out on ebay from Integras, and theyre pretty damn cheap.
But what are the advantages of disk over drum? And is it worth 200 bucks? (Sorry to thread jack, but its kinda related)

rear disks dont fade as fast as rear drums
there are no performance parts for drums so your drums arent gonna get any better than they are.
rear disk as a whole is lighter than drums. every pound of unsprung weight you can remove is like removing 2 pounds from your car.
rear disk are a hell of a lot easier to work on
im not much into cosmetics, but they look a whole lot better.
so yes, they are worth the $200, but for $200 they should be complete. i mean, 2 rear trailing arms with calipers, rotors and pads along with e-brake cables and a propotioning valve.
