I have an 89 CRX Si, and I can tell you definitely FRONT DISC, REAR DRUM.

I have a 4th gen civic and I really like the rear disc better. The rear swap from a 93 intergra fits great. 9 inch rear disc too..Check this out... http://www.geocities.com/CapitolHill.../Disc2Drum.htm

Hey JohnnyM,

Is that your car in the link? If so, nice...I might've seen it around town. BTW, I sold my DA & bought an 88 CRX SiR (w/B16A & LSD tranny). I'm picking up DA rear disc conversion from Malahat tomorrow. Hopefully I'll have the conversion done by this coming weekend.

Later!

Thats where I got my parts from too. What color is the CRX?? Is it the candy-lime gold one?? I know that one had a b16a in town. Are you pulling the brakes from a integra or crx?? You might have some difficulty routing the e-brake cable if you use the one from the integra. Drop me a line if you need any help...
