Default dx brake rotor questions

Hello peeps. I am new member to hondatech and this is my first thread post so bare with me. My question is I am trying to get all the parts for my 1993 civic dx hatch rear disk brake conversion together.I robbed the brakes off of a 1993 gsr integra and got the paportioning valve and the brake booster and all things needed to convert the brakes over to my civic.My only question is my car does not have abs.I was wanting to replace the rotors with some cross drilled slotted rotors and noticed that every place I go to says these oem replacement rotors that are cross drilled like the baer and other companys say only for a abs car.which mine is not. I found that the stock rotors have the same part number as a abs equiped car like a civic si or ex in my years but for some reason they all say for abs. Will I be able to use the cross drilled slotted oem replacement rotors even if they say they are for a abs equiped civic's and integras?

Since you're doing a rear-disc conversion you're using the parts from an ABS-equipped car. Do you see where I'm going with this?


Here's the breakdown so you'll know which car to shop for:

92-93 Civics all had the same size front rotor. Starting in 1994 through 2000, the EX ABS and Si ABS had larger (Integra sized) front rotors while the CX/DX/LX/HX/HF kept the small size.

All rear rotors are the same size for any 88-00 Civic or 90-01 Integra.

well now that you say this I kind of did some research to try to prove your information. I have found that the rotors on a 93 dx and a 95 si though have the same part number on orielly's and autozones website. So if the ex and si in 94 and 95 had bigger brake rotors wouldnt the part number be different for the rotors?

Yes. I'm sorry I didn't mention the "ABS" part again. I've edited to make it clearer.
