Default Will I run into issues? Disk to drum.

I have a 1999 Civic EX (2DR), with disk brakes currently (all from the Si).

I'm going back to drum brakes, the parts I got were from a 1995 Civic CX (3DR).

My question is, will the brake soft lines and / or the e-brake cables be too short going from the "EG" hatch to my "EK" coupe?

Rear drums off a '92 - '95 CX/DX/VX will be smaller than the original drums, and may or may not screw up your brake bias. You wont have issues with the parking brake cables though. If I were you i'd find a set off a '92 - '00 Coupe or sedan, or a '96 - '00 Hatch. Btw, why are you getting rid of the rear discs?

I'm selling the car.

Do I need the soft line hoses? Or will they be long enough from the EG hatch?

You can use the flex hoses off the hatch.

okay cool, so basically the only concern will be that the drums are slightly smaller? But other than that, the parking brake cable and flex hoses will bolt up?

Yes, the rear drums are actually a fair bit smaller, but yes thats the only concern.
