Would Type R e-brake cables from a 96 spec 4x114.3 suspension work on an EK with US Type R 5 lug conversion? All I know is the 99-00 Civic Si will work. please help me out, I want to install my 5 lug conversion.

 

they use the same calipers so it will work.

 

anyone else?

As long as the cables attach the same way you will have no problem... you already know the length is right.

 

the ek e-brake cables are 2 inches longer then the dc2/eg ebrake cables. i recently swapped ek rear drum setup into my 94 si and the cables were so long i had to route them up in front of the gas tank then back down. my guess is that you will have fitment issues with an eg/dc2 cable on an ek (not long enough) i would just get the 99/00 si cables and be done with it.

Thats the answer I was looking for.

Your IT-R rears didn't come with the e-brake cables?

I'm just trying to understand this:

You swapped your rear brake discs from your 94 Si out and put in some 96-00 Civic hatch rear drums in instead?

Also, concerning only the rear e-brake cables, I think they would have different lengths anyway between drums and discs on the same car. On a 5th gen Civic hatch, the DX cables weren't the same length as the Si cables.

well, i have a 99 si, a 94 si, and a 94 cx. the cables on the 94 cx have both clips (there are 2 bolt on clips on each cable) in the appropriate spot, whereas the the ek cables on my 94 si, i was unable to get one clip i because the cable needed to be rerouted because of extra length. for all intensive purposes, the ek rear arm/drum setup is identical to the eg ones.
