Buy them from Honda.

Still looking for the length of the cables. I know I can get them at Honda, but I don't have the money to do so, that site its about 100 for both.

Why the hell do you need to know the length?

 

B/c in the link I listed above that cable is only 22 1/8" long and I want to know if thats the right length or not.

The hell is that just some generic e-brake cable?

 

The website has it listed as for a 98 civic ex.

Well if it's listed for a '98 civic EX then it's probably the right length for a '98 civic EX.

Usually e-brakes are designated by their application (which vehicle), not how long they are.

 

Well I'm aware of that, but I just want confirmation b/c I don't have the kind of money to be getting the wrong part and then have to get the right part, which is why I want to know if anybody knows the length of the cable.

 

If you get the wrong part you can always return it.

Not sure on the length of the cable. although, 22 inches seems a little short. However, a lot of those places just put random measurements on **** like that. If they say it's for a 98 EX, it's for a 98 EX. Even if you confirmed the length....what if they sent you cables with the wrong end fittings? Anything could happen, man. But if they say it's for a 98 ex....you just kinda have to trust them. They've obviously sold car parts before.

How much is the site you're looking at charging you?

OEM honda stuff is around $100 shipped. PM me for the website. Dont forget to allow pop ups if you want me to PM you back.

NAPA was charging like $70 for both when I was looking for them a while ago. I just got honda stuff at less than wholesale prices. I know a guy

You can also go to a junkyard...and take cables for like $20 for both (if that). Any 96-00 civic cables for drum brakes will work.

 

PM'd.
