but I'd jump on the older kit and upgrade the discs/pads/maybe rotors as well.
I have it... improved my braking dramatically.
80% is done up front with drums. If you change out to the teg proportioning valve its 70/30 get that, and nice new brake pads all around - and depending on the condition of the parts your buying.. new rotors all around, and you will stop like its nobody's buisness.
get the brakes that guy is selling +
15/16" non-ABS master cylinder w/ booster (1" works but you have to reflare your brake lines) (6th gen civics may not need a change out, ask inspyral.)
teg or del sol VTEC proportioning valve
eventually if i were you I would get the front brakes changed over too soon.
its awsome
