Quick question so i was planning to do a rear disc brake swap for my 96 civic, and the whole assembly is from an ek9 and the hubs are the 4x114.3 and i was wondering if i could just swap 4x100 hub thats for an em1 onto that assembly?
Civic Type Rs were 5x114.3, not 4x114.3. And no, you cant just swap hubs. If you want 'Type R' sized rear brakes on your non-R Civic, get a rear brake swap from literally any other non-type R 92-00 Civic or 94-01 Integra, use Type R calipers (or RSX swapped left to right if you can't find a pair), and early EP3 Civic rotors.

Ohh ok then the seller is wrong he says its from a type r hatch ek but its a 4 lug hub. but no i just plan to run regular sized rotors from an si if possible i just found a whole trailing arm assembly that just pads and rotors for a good price but in my case of it probably being an ITR trailing arm could i just swap on a different hub w the 4x100 pattern?
This conversation has become irrelevant to the OP, but whatever.
Things get a little muddy with the years because the model years are allocated differently for different markets. Four lug ITRs were built for the JDM market from '95-'96 and labeled as '96-'97 model years. These cars are almost universally referred to as "'96 spec" over here. The USDM ITRs never had four lug (and were sort of a mish-mosh of '96 spec and '98 spec parts to fit the US market) so I think this might be done colloquially to clarify. All JDM Rs >'97 model year carry the "'98 spec" upgrades including the five lug setup with larger brakes and lots of other changes. >'99 model year ('00 spec) got some other minor changes as well (different interior trim, slight camshaft change, etc).
