Default disc brake coversion on eg6..

i am in the middle of doing a rear disc brake coversion on my 92 civic eg vx model the question is... which would be a better rear disc brake conversion the discs off a 2000 civic si or rear discs off a 94 gs-r ? i have both sets sittin here in my shop but i am not too sure which is the better of the two or are they equal ? please school me and correct me if im wrong....i have the whole suspension off a 2000 civic si but when i bought my hatch off a friend of mine he gave me the rear discs off a gs-r so im not sure what to go with.

Everything is the same but the rear shocks & rear LCAs. You cannot use the EK ones on a EG/EF/DC...

EK rear LCAs are about an inch longer (each), and their also skinnier. The skinnier bushings require a skinnier rear shock fork mount (upside down U welded onto the bottom of the rear shock). This means the EG bushings are too fat to fit inside the shock...
