Default Rear Brake conversion questions

I currently have a 2001 civic LX and would liek to convert my rear drum brakes to rear disc. Do you know which cars and years I would be able to work with to get the parts.

I believe 96-01 Integras or 99-00 EX's (if the EX came with rear disc when new), because some never.

Body style doesn't make a difference. The Integra body is totally different than the Civic body, yet they fit.

thanx for the info I found a 97 integra at a local pick-n-pay junk yard. going to pick up the calipers, hub assembly, e-brake assembly, and the parking brake cable(s) master cylinder and booster. Is there anything else I should be getting? this is the first time i've done this to a civic. Used to be a mazda guy but after the third head gasket in my mx6 I said screw mazda and bought my civic and couldn't be happier. Thank you HONDA YOU ROCK!

I just did mine. I've still got to get one going! I've got all the pics and such nicely organized and a pretty good idea of the write up. Also if i'm not mistaken you don't need the booster, just the master cylinder. That's what I did
