Default Rear disk brake conversion

Tomorrow, if everything goes well ill be getting my new rims.

Since the rear drums will be showing, I was thinking about doing a rear disk brake conversion but I need some help.

Is it a lot of work to do? What Honda/Acura could I take rear disk brakes from that would bolt on to my 98 Civic?

The only hard part is that the e-brake cables can get frustrating. I would go ahead and get new brake pads all around and either get the rotors turned or buy new ones. I am in the middle of this swap at the moment also.

A. Start a new thread, not cool to "thread-jack", especially one from last year.
B. The 02-05 Si's have rear disc brakes stock
C. There's no such thing as an 02 and up Integra (it was changed to the RSX)
D. You have a 3 dr Hatchback, not a coupe.

kthnxbai!

Yes, I have a coupe, Canada SI. So I need to find a rear disk assembly from an RSX. I would even think I would be able to find one from an Acura EL as well, their just like a Honda Civic

So I guess I was to assume he was from Canada, huh? I don't know how I could have missed that seeing that HE NEVER MENTIONED IT since he simply threadjacked something from last year.

CanSICoupe....... that seems not to difficult to figure it out. And calm down, no need to get upset.
