Canadian Si-SiR Rear Brake Swap
All info i've found is for american versions that don't have abs.
I have a Canadian 1998 Civic Si. For those who don't know, it is exactly the same as the American 1998 EX coupe, but it has a/c and abs brakes.
I found a guy selling 1999 Canadian SiR (same as the american Si but with a/c and abs) rear brake conversion parts.
My question is, since they are both abs, do they have the same brake booster? I am definitely going to use the SiR MC and prop. valve to be safe, but i just wanna know if i need to take his brake booster too?
Also, i am assuming they both have the same front discs, and so i hope none of these changes affect my front brakes..if i am wrong, please correct me!!
I will search for more info, but any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!!

I'm pretty sure my 96 EX has ABS and I know it has A/C. I'll go take it on a back road when I get a chance and see if I skid stomping on the brakes or if it chirps but slows down.

Re: Canadian Si-SiR Rear Brake Swap
i believe the master cylinder is 15/16" for the si (usdm ex) and 1" for the sir (usdm si)
i know they are different though. the booster is the same i believe.
i didnt know the sir had ABS.. interesting.

Re: Canadian Si-SiR Rear Brake Swap
well from what i've found, SiRs have a/c and abs while american SIs dont (wiki) and american ex coupes only have abs with the auto tranny. Canadian SIs have manual tranny versions with abs. Thats what i could tell from searching online part websites..
hmmm this is getting confusing. i was sure the usdm ex and si had the same size mc..i will call a honda dealership after work and verify if the MC and BB are different here in canada.

Re: Canadian Si-SiR Rear Brake Swap
called honda..apparently the part numbers for both the MC and the BB are different.
i guess the safest bet is to pay the extra 50$ and be sure..

"An anti-lock brake system (ABS) is standard on the EX sedan, and optional on the LX sedan and EX coupe."
I'll pull out the original window sticker from 96 in a bit and see what it says. I always thought I had ABS... maybe not lol

its where i find all my parts around the toronto area. if vancouver or montreal or another major canadian city is closer to u, u can probably google a club website for any of them. montreal websites may have a lot of french posts tho..
