Default question:If I put civic brembo rotors on my eg.....

I planned on putting brembo rotors on my eg, but i began thinking about getting rid of the rear drums for integra discs. Now, will I have to get new rotors on the back if i go disc?? or will they fit to the brembo? I almost preferred to have the same size rotor in the front and back. I realize you need the most stopping power in the front, but if i swap to rear disc will forced to get new rear rotors?

You cant put rotors on if you have rear drums

Do some research on how braking systems work. If you currently have front disks and rear drums then you can get new front rotors, but like I said drum brakes dont use rotors. When you upgrade to rear disks then you may use brembo rotors if you wish.

ahhh i gotcha... I havent really looked into braking systems to much, so that never dawned on me, but now i remember hearing something like that before. but still are the rear disc rotors still supposed to be smaller?

The rear disk will and should be smaller.
