Assuming you have a B-series and the 36mm axles, it will be plug and play.

yes it will be plug and play but you might have trouble finding axles when it comes to needing them since its 36mm

axels usually come with the swap? So best bet is to find swap that uses 32 mm to make it easier on myself?

If you can find JDM 98 spec ITR 36mm axles, great. If not, you will need to make custom axles using regular b-series axles with prelude/accord outers.

Those came off an Integra. The UCAs are not from a 96-00 Civic. So those are probably the 98 spec ITR 5-lugs using 36mm axles if it's from Japan. If you plan to get that set, you will need ebrake cables.

If using the larger front knuckles (10.3" rotors), then you can buy hubs, bearings, and calipers to convert. I believe the EK4 does have the larger knuckle.

Easiest thing to do is just get the CTR conversion. Other than the rear brake lines, it was completely bolt on for my 96 DX.

your car has rear drum brakes right?

you will need better brake booster (integra), rear disc brake proportional valve from civic SI or integra , rear brake lines too.

here is some more info:

https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=2068474
https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=2116747

and yeah, BUY CTR or USDM ITR 5 lugs or JDM CTR 32 mm, dont buy the JDM ITR one...such an hassle for 36mm hub.

i have 36mm, still working on the axles,
