rear disks on a civic ex.
Thinkin bout putting rear disks on my 97 ex. From what honda/acura car will these be cheapest and easiest to install. Also how hard is the installaion, is it a simple bolt on afair? What about the abs does it plug right in? Will these make that much of a difference for daily driving?

You can get rear disks from 90-01 Integra, 92-95 Civic Si/EX ABS, 93-97 Del Sol Si/VTEC, or 99-00 Civic Si. The Integra ones will be more abundant but the prices will pretty much be the same since they are all the same parts. If you get the
Del Sol ones, make sure you swap the Del Sol ebrake cable with one from an Integra or Civic Si. The installation can be done with sockets/ratchet, jack, jackstands, 10mm flare nut wrench, and needlenose pliers. It's not very hard, but may be time consuming since this is the first time you are doing it. It might take you up to 3 hours. It is a bolt on affair, but if you use 90-93 Integra rear disks, make sure you use the Civic's toe arm and upper control arm. Since most of your braking is done in the front, the difference between drums and disks is minimal. Some good pads in the front would negate the need for rear disks. And since you have ABS, make sure you get disks with ABS sensors (Integra). It should plug in.
