yes, i know they came as an option for the EX coupe too. the EX-A is pretty rare, and so are the EX sedans with ABS.

THIS IS MY EVERYDAY DRIVER, I DON'T HAVE A MONTH, PLUS I DON'T TRUST MYSELF TO DO MY OWN BRAKES. I FIGURED SINCE THEY WERE GONNA HAVE EVERYTHING OFF, MIGHT AS WELL HAVE THEM LOWER AND DO ALL THE OTHER ODDS AND ENDS. THIS IS MY ONE AND ONLY CAR, I GOTTA DRIVE IT TOMORROW, AND IF I SCREW UP, I GUESS I JUST DON'T GO TO WORK.

"the civic e-brake lines can't be reused when putting on the gsr disks in the back?"

WE FIGURED THAT OUT YESTERDAY. TAKEN CARE OF, THANKS

I'm just now beginning to take apart my braking system in the back to convert my '95 Civic CX HB to disks in the back. Can anyone tell me how to detach the ebrake lines after I take off the console in the middle? Also I'm gonna have to find some GSR ebrake lines so does anyone know where I can get my hand on some of these besides Acura? Thanks.

I can't even remember, it is very simple, and once you look at it, it kind of explains itself. If you've already gotten to this point, then, uh, i'm sorry to hear that. Figuring it out isn't that hard.

attatching the new GSR brake cables to the ebrake area was a pain in the ass, i remember that.

ISP James : as far as that PM goes, I didn't say you would actually bleed the system twice, I was saying that you will need the amount of fluid for a double drain. You will be completly draining the system of fluid when you changeover the master cylender and whatnot in the engine bay. and its going to take just about a full system of fluid to bleed all the air out of the lines, and do it correct.

May i recommend a stainless steel brake line upgrade at the same time. You won't 'need' it, but initial pedal feel will be better. I didn't do it, and trust me, i brake just fine, but I wish i had the ss lines for better pedal feel
