You'd need the parking brake cables, proportioning valve, discs, backing plates, mount brackets, calipers, new flex lines, etc., and maybe even the trailing arms and wheel bearings I would not advise the swap. You will get no better braking and a LOT more maintenance issues. Stick with drums. They don't look as cool in between the spokes of your $400 wheels, but they are better than discs in practice. -- TeGGeR® The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/

Neither would I. That proportioning valve in itself is a tricky business. You can't just casually fit bigger, meaner brakes into the back of a vehicle. If you do the rear wheels may lock right up while the fronts are still only braking slightly. This can result in the car swapping ends unexpectedly. Even with a proportioning valve installed to prevent this, it might not be set right for a vehicle it wasn't designed for.

	You won't see any better braking, only a "bling bling" factor. You'll need master cylinder, prop. valve, ebrake cables, trailing arms complete to hub assembly, and different brake lines. Also figure on cutting out EACH bolt on the back. In short, not worth the effort.

	Well, if it were a 91 CRX or an 89 accord it would be easy to pick the right parts. Those cars both had a model with rear disc.

	No, that's the problem, I think as far as civic like vehicles from that generation, only the CRX Si had disc. I don't know how easy it would be to swap over to a civic.
