Default Incredibly simple brake question

'98 EX - did it come stock with rear discs?

Yeah, I searched. I get nothing for "EX", and I get the phone book for "brakes"

All USDM 1998 Civic EX models (2 or 4 door) had Drum Discs from the factory.

EDIT: BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!! WTF??? "DRUM DISCS" BWAHAHAHAHAH

DRUM DISCS FTMFW!!!

I'll re-iterate:
All USDM 1998 Civic EX models (2 or 4 door) had Drum Brakes from the factory.

Maybe it wasn't such a simple question.

What are "drum discs"?

Rear disc conversion from either a teggy or an SI.
IMO a good set of front disc's (ex: Brembo, ect) and good pads (hawk, AEM, ect) with OEM rear drums works just fine for any D.D setup. If your really interested tho, then looks like you should look into doing a rear disc conversion. Theres a thread or two on how to do it yourself here on HT.
