Sup guys. I ordered an ebc stock replacement brake kit from buybrakes.com for my 97 civic ex 5sp. When i received it i noticed it was wrong. It had the 9.4" rotors (i need 10.3) and the pads were not wide enough to go in the caliper. I double checked the website and made sure they sent me the right stuff. They sent me the kit for the non abs civic, which is what i ordered, but it is not right. From the research ive done with them, i need there abs kit, which comes with 10.3" rotors. But my car does not have abs. No ABS light on the dash and no number 5 in the 8th digit of the vin, which i was told tells if you have abs or not. Does this make since to anyone? Thanks in advance

 

you sure you dont have a caliper swapped from an integra? my friend had this problem and he had to get brake pads off an integra, since the guy before him changed calipers.

 

it's weird they go by abs or non abs, as there are two different front brake sizes. you can order 'abs' ones, since they're the bigger ones.

 

I finally got it figured out. I talked to customer service with buybrakes.com and there website is wrong. Thought i was losing my mind! The kit they sent me was for a cx i believe. But i thought all the front rotors were the same. She looked up what i needed on the ebc site and saw that it was wrong. I have a right kit on its way now.
