I own a 7th gen civic coupe, and what disc brakes would fit on the rear? I think the ones from an Si or a Canadian Acura El would fit, but i'm not 100% sure, can someone please clarify this issue for me?

remember this is a 7th gen, i'm pretty sure i can't fit brakes from a GSR or anything like that simply because the body is quite different.

Si will work.

A EL won't...if it's 5 lug.

 

an EL would probably work too ... it's 4 lug as well

but I doubt it's be very cheap

Ive seen Si, GSR, and ITR(of course these are 5 lug though) rear disc on your car.

 

The si,gsr,type R should all fit. Ifone fits they all should,basically all the same besides disc size,and calipers i think.

 

On the subject of drum to disc conversion what will you need specifically cause I want to do this conversion also, I have tried to search but I can't find much. I have a 97 Civic (EJ6) and what would I need to do this conversion and from what car. I had read on a post that you could get the brake lines Control arms and discs and calipers from the del sol and it should work. Can anyone confirm this. TIA

good luck

 

again, those are for the 5th and 6th gen, however i'm almost positive these EL or Si(R) brakes will fit, so i'm gonna give a&j's a call tommorow for installation.
