Default Civic Brakes

What are the sizes of front brakes on each level of 88-91 civics?


Thanks,
Travis

I've never seen a brake chart, but if it's really important to you, you could make one by checking every model at http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com. It only takes a few minutes to go through every model, and you can always tell the 10.2" brake from 9.5" by the caliper mounting brackets.

I can't see why they would make chart that would only have two different brake options listed.

I found another one to add to the list:

90-91 Civic EX 4-door = 10.2" fronts
90-91 Civic Si 2-door (NOT 3-door) = 10.2" fronts (not sure what this car is, but it's listed at Honda)
88-91 Everything else = 9.5" fronts

91 Civic EX 4-door = rear discs
90-91 CRX Si = rear discs
90-91 Civic Si 2-door (NOT 3-door) = rear discs (not sure what this car is, but it's listed at Honda)
88-91 Everything else = rear drums

EX sedan was '90-91 only.

This car does not exist. The '89-91 Civic Si was a 3dr hatchback and had 9.5" front discs.

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">91 Civic EX 4-door = rear discs</TD></TR></TABLE>
The '90-91 EX had drums in the rear.

Again, this car doesn't exist. The ED7 Civic Si had drums in the rear.

When browsing through the parts on hondaautomotiveparts.com, it shows a listing for a 2 door 1600 Si. I was just going by the parts listed at Honda.

It also says the 90 EX 4 door has drums & the 91 EX 4 door has discs. Why else would it be the only car equiped with a 15/16th master cylinder?

As for the 88-89 EX 4 door, I was wondering why they have a selection for it, but no parts listed. Makes sense now (fixed above)...
