Rear Brake Convertion

[civiclxb16]

hey guys i found the write up on the site about the rear disc convertion. very good, i got mine done but here is where i ran into the problem. the brake cables now i got my set up out of a 93 civic si and i put it on my 97 civic lx but it is a four door i didn't put the cables in because it was shorter then the ones that came off my civic with the drums. what should i do? which car should i get the brake cables off of? and where did anyone find the brake cables for 60 bucks on that write up honda wants 86 bucks for one!!

that was actually my car that I did the conversion on, and you can buy the ebrake cables from hondaautomotiveparts.com they should supply you with them for a decent price.

did you email them with your info or did you look it up because i can't find it all i see is for drums let me know thanks man

for your car you need the brake cables for a 92-95 SI hatch that came with disc's in the back or a 99-00 SI cables

ok well i have the cables from a 93 si hatch so you are saying i can use it? but it seems to short but i can try it over the weekend thanks

hmmm i would try some 99-00 SI cables, i forgot you were doing a 4 door. Ive seen people with 4 door Ek do the disc swap so i would try the EK cables even though I dont think they are any longer.

where can i find the wheel base for the different civic so i can see if they will match up like if the 93 si will match up with my 97 four door

hmmm i dunno on that one, why dont you just take the cable and match them up and see if they are the same length, i dont think wheel base is gonna help you.

[civiclxb16]

i figured the wheel base would help me so i know the length if i have the same wheel base then i figured i would be good
