Default quick question with disc conversion

Have an eg just got a rear disc setup but no rotors, calipers, cables, and I've searched but not sure if I'm missing anything for the install.

I know I need caliper brackets and semi loaded calipers cus Im going to put in stoptech pads, e brake cables and rotors obviously, but am I missing anything else small? Thanks

Do you have soft brake lines from the caliper to the chassis? Might be a good time to upgrade to stainless braided lines.

I actually have all that sorted but now im kind of confused on the ebrake cables. Ive been reading that alot of the integra cables are too long and dont pull hard like they should because theyre too long. Looking on Rockauto the teg hatchs cables are 64" and the ones for my coupe are 61". Someone said to get abs cables of my year but those are listed as 65"...so im confused lol.

Correct. Get the cables for the chassis (disc version, obviously), not the brakes. Civic sedan/coupe are the same.

Skip the Rockauto cables and spend the extra $20 on Honda ones. Trust me on this, I'm speaking from an annoying experience.
