oh no, im just swapping out the rears from drums to disc brakes. btw is there anything bad im going to be running into, like major or any modifications?? b/c everything i will be needing for this project is coming straight out of a LS teg and my drums will be goin on his teg, so we're literally will be "swapping" our brake set ups. thanks

As long as you use your front brakes, you will be fine. I just put some 13" steelies on my friends totaled 97 LS.(in the rear only)

Edit: The only real problem you will run into is the e-brake cables. The e-brake cables are a little short (no big deal). I put the same swap on my 96 coupe and they work great. But if you want the "correct" cables get some of a 99-00 Si. If you ever plan on getting Braided SS lines for the rear discs, get them for a 99-00 Si as well.

Edit 2: Last edit I swear. MAKE SURE YOU USE A FLARE NUT WRENCH FOR THE BRAKE LINES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

k thanks bro, btw i have a 99 sedan, i don't think it'll be any difference in vehicle length. my sis has a 99 coupe and when we park in the garage from front to rear bumper we're exactly the same length.
