Hey guys i have a 97 civic ex coupe, to my understanding they don't have disc brakes all around? if not whats the best option to do disc all around, and what all will i need if i wanna do GSR brakes if i decide to go that route? things like E-brake cable? trail arms? etc? thanks for the help ahead of time

 

Go to the FAQ at the top of the page all kinds of info on disc conversions an no your ex shouldn't have disc in the rear only front an from what I gather gsr brakes are no different then any other integra brakes the only ones that are different are the itr's causethere 5 lug instead of 4. You don't need the trailing arms you can just swap the hubs over but the 4 torx bolts holdin it to the trailing arm can be a bitch to remove so might be easier just swapping the whole trailing arm, as far as the e-brake cable use the one from the car you got the disc's from not the one already on your car an use 99-00 civic si rear brake lines from what I've read there the best ones to use. Also get the 40/40 porportion valve from an integra I belive 94-01 is a direct bolt on the 91-93 you have to use the stock mount from your car. Correct me If I'm worng guys but I believe I remembered all this correctly

Hope this helps some but the FAQ page is your best friend as this has been covered a million times

 

You don't need to upgrade your front brakes to Integra or Civic Si since you already have the larger brakes since you have an EX.

Your rear brakes, on the other hand, are drum. Take a look and you'll see the lack of a caliper, like there is on the front brakes.

You can just swap the entire trailing arm btw. It's probably easier.

 

you can use the rear disks off 94-01 tegs and 99-00 civic si. as stated above, you dont need the front cause your fronts are the same size as teg and civic si. the e-brake cables from a teg will work but in order to do it "the right way" use the ones off 99-00 civic si. it is also recommended to change prop valve from a cx, dx model coupe or hatch, 99-00 si have the same one

 

You can always upgrade the front calipers to Integra since it has a slightly larger piston than EX/Si. Doubt it would make much of a difference.
