Default Changing brakes on 89 CRX with rear disc brakes

Hey Guys,
I have an 89 CRX with the rear disc brakes from a conversion done by the previous owner.

The question:
I need to change the brakes but I don't know what parts I will need for the rear since they aren't the "normal" stuff.

I know I will need the standard brake pads for the front but what about the back? Do they need the same pads as the front or would they need something different? Please give me any info that you have.

Thanks in advance.

You can get away with just ordering 90 CRX Si rear brake components as long as you don't have larger than normal rear discs in the back.

or just take them in and ask for both the integra and crx si brakes. they can pretty much match up the pads. i know cuz i have to do ti when people come into my job and start telling me stuff like "i have a 92 toyota accord," and im like "you have a what?"

Thanks guys. I will bring the car to the Brake shop. They offer a free inspection and that should give me enough info to get what I need.
