I got a 93 civic coupe and i need new brakes and its Non ABS . But i have a problem, my back brakes are the dumb azz drum brakes.So i was interested in getting some brembo rotors and some hawk brake pads in the front. But what about the drum brakes? just get OEM or what u guys think?Let me know what set up you guys recommend or any suggestions.BTW cant wait to get my rear disk brakes swap! .Please help me out here fellas!thanks

 

Just go oem or use quality aftermarket shoes. And I love not having abs, it leaves me in control of braking and not some damn computer.

 

btw,i use my car for daily driving and once in a while i take it up to the canyon.

 

Go to a junkyard an find an EG Civic Si or a del Sol with rear discs and see how much they are. If you can score them for pretty cheap then go for it. I want to do this, and I will also yank a gauge cluster from an Si and some del Sol seats as well.

 

If your swapping out the rear drum brakes to a GSR for instance then don't forget the master cylinder, reservoir and porpotioning valve from that vehicle as well. If you don't then you'll have unequal brake balance, brakes that lock easily and more effort to just slow down.
