Default Rear disc brake conversion on 1995 Honda Accord LX Coupe

I'm sure all of you are aware that the LX coupe does not come with rear discs. Can you use the rear discs off of a 94-95 sedan EX? Would I also run into the problem of ABS, because my LX doesn't have ABS. If someone could help me that would be great.

What all will I need for the conversion? I understand the brake and calipers. But will the Ebrake still hook up the same? and will the lines fit? I come from a small town and no one really knows jack about accords. If it were a civic or integra, no problem.

That is kinda weird, i tought that the LX didn't came with rear disc brakes, my 95 LX doesn't have them, perhaps you could get them as an option? by the way, do you have ABS then?

i always have this question, the LX with rear drums has only one brake line going from the engine bay to the back, and the disc brakes ones have two lines, i don't know from where the lines come, but i guess you have to switch that piece too, am i right?

EDIT: i know in the LX they come from the proportioning valve, but no clue on the EX
