Brake swap help . . .
I own a 2000 Civic ex and will be swapping my rear drums for some Civic Si rear disc brakes. Will my stock ex brakes be sufficient upfront, or should i buy the Si front brakes aswell ? ? Would there be much of a difference upfront ? ?
Thanks
Thanks

the front brakes will be fine....in case you are wondering the ex and si both have the same size rotor...but I think the caliper is a little bigger on the si....so all you would need are the calipers.

I wouldn't say there is a major difference when swapping the rear drums for disks but it does help...after all, all the stopping power is up front.
