Default Rear Disc Conversion Questions

Before you tell me to search, I did, but I just have a few questions.

I have a 97 Honda Civic LX (Drums on the rear) (Non-ABS)
I also have a 93 Honda Civic EX four door w/ discs on the rears (ABS Model)

Can I swap the parts from the 93 onto the 97 even though one is abs and one isn't? I want to do the rear disc conversion I just can't seem to find enough info.

I noticed the brakes on my 93 are bigger than the 97. At least the brake pads are half an inch bigger.

Any help would be great. Thanks ahead of time.

You can put abs rear discs on a non abs car. You could also go the other way but you would obviously lose the abs.

Yes
If you searched a bit harder you would have seen that all rear disc parts are the same (god...I got to say it again). Meaning abs or not it will go on.

Why would you favor an ugly 97 over a sexy, sleek 93

Yes. The hub assemblies, calipers, soft lines, etc. will swap right over. Master cylinder and proportioning valve will not, however.

That's correct. The EX has 10.3" front rotors, while the LX has 9.5" front rotors.
