Rear disk brakes? Did I get lucky?
My LX has rear disk brakes, I hear a good bit of talk about swaping to rear disks on civics. Did I get lucky or did all the 92-95s get rear disks?

Well, Im going to do the brakes soon. What do I get the pads for then? Just an EX or SI if it has those brakes on it? Ill get a pic tomorrow when I change my wheels.

I also need a new master cylinder. As always I see this as a time to upgrade, should I? If so what whould be the ideal master cylinder/booster to go with for the 4 wheel disk?

I was asking jimbo_690
But yeah. Since you had metion you have ABS it came stock. You have the LX model with ABS optional.

Re: (iceman7329)
Best master cylinder upgrade would be a 91 Civic Si 15/16 master cylinder. There are 1 inch Integra master cylinders available, but there is no measureable gain between the 15/16 and a 1 inch. And it's more work while the 15/16 is a bolt-on replacement.
I don't know how that will affect your abs though. In fact, even changing to stickier tires and bigger rims can affect the abs...

Re: (suspendedHatch)
Screw the abs. The abs pump runs to much now. When you start it up the pump will just keep kicking in for a couple minutes. So I just want a master cylinder for a 91 Si?

The 92-95 EX ABS came with rear swaybar but a little smaller. And also the 99-00 si did too.

No. 1991 Si is till the crappy 13/16ths. You mean 1991 EX 4 door - it's 15/16ths. And since his car has ABS the hard line closest to the booster will NOT work because ABS fittings are bigger than non-ABS, so the 1991 anything will not work.
...but O.P check your current master cylinder and make sure it's not already a 7/8th unit - if it is 7/8 a 15/16ths isn't much of an "upgrade" at all. If I recall the ABS cars already have the bigger 7/8ths unit. If you really want an upgrade and don't mind the extra effort try a 94-95 Integra LS/GS/GS-R ABS booster and master cylinder. Again it might not make much, if any, difference in braking though.
