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

Re: (dc2vu)
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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: (SOHC4life 96)
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.
