Rear disc brake conversion
I wanted to convert my rear drums to disc in my 97 civic. What is the best route? Do I grab the OEM hardware or aftermarket?

Go oem.

However if you do not have an EX, then don't waste your time on rear discs. Upgrade the front discs instead to an EX/SI setup.

any 5th gen civic w/ rear disc will do or any 94-up integras will do too. don't worry about the ABS hookups. if you car doesn't have ABS just don't hook it up. that's what I did to my EJ1 I got the entire rear suspension out of a 94 ls w/abs. technically you don't need all of the rear suspension parts. btw SEARCH next time this subject has been covered too many times.

Re: Rear disc brake conversion (sleeperciv)
Yeah for sure if you don't already have EX/Si or some tegs on the front get them before you get some rear discs. But if you do then you can get them from I believe its 92-00 Civics (I think the LCA is different for 92-95/99-00). Or 94-01.
You can simply replace the rear trailing arms with the rear disc on it or you can even take the disc assembly off of the rear trailing arms of both drum/disc and swap around. You will need a new e-brake cable I would recommend a 99-00 Si.
Should probably get a new MC from a EX or Si (heard they are the same). And a new Proportioning valve (99-00 Si).
Hope that helps.
