look in the FAQ, There is an *** load of brake swap articles in there. Check the one that says EK in the title, he sounds like he knows whats up.

Re: rear disk conversion for ek? (BlueIntegraBoy)
i believe the only time you need to change the prop. valve is when you upgrade to teg brakes. I know that the only time you need to change lcas are when you want to add a swaybar or in some retarded cases just to add bling....the oem ones are fine to reuse(I swapped mine out for oem gsr ones in order to run a rear sway bar though). If you plan on doing it all yourself here's my suggestions:
-Buy a shitload of liquid wrench or something similar(I went through almost 2 full cans when I did mine on my eg a couple of weeks ago)
-use a good 1/2" drive socket set(I broke 2 3/8" drives)
-have a good/accurate tq. wrench
-a nice breaker bar using slow preassure works well(I used the bar from he jack)
-have a friend help you out and buy them beer & pizza afterwards
-recheck every bolt you touched and rebleed the brakes at least twice before you drive it.

I think gsr LCA's will work, I just got omnis, but you cna get GSR lcas for about 30 bucks used....

You can't. They aren't long enough. You need '96-00 Civic rear LCAs.

Re: (broketuner-egb16a)
Did the swap myself to 94 GSR brakes, you need to keep your stock LCAs from your EK, and I reused my prop valve...
Good luck!
