[Smurf]

Some of the late 98 prefacelift civics also had 262 discs.

Great mods but that also comes with a great downside ,the rear end will lift off the ground more easy and it might slide off .The braking distribution is way off cause you have drums in the rear and big brakes in the front.
Proper way to do this would be 240 disks in the rear and 280 disks in the front .Or 260 rear and 280 front. Or 240 rear and 260 front.
In most cases you'll have more then enough braking power with 260 in the front with grooved disks ,aftermarket brake pads and stainless steel brake lines.

the balance would indeed be off.

on the other hand, you can get it right in 1 time, EK9 5lug

hi i want to ask you i want to buy EBC 282mm 4x100 from MG ZS i have the 98 civic with 262mm discs, if i want to keep the stock calipers will it be a problem?? i mean it can be done or it has to be modified in order to match stock calipers with the 282mm discs????

If you want to do it right and pay a bit more, like hondaNickx says, check out this site:

select your model of civic, go to braking system and browse

I personally would not modify front to larger discs and leave rear drum, could end in disaster if you tried to stop very quick in emergency

No it is impossible to keep your calipers (262mm) with discs 282mm.
You need calipers from itr-hrv-crv(mk1)-prelude vtec-nsx and some accords vtec ('90-'00)

another question if i do this setup with 282mm discs and ITR calipers would i have a problem with the brake bias? i saw that integra type-r has 260mm discs rear and i have drums

I don't know for sure but I think you wouldn't have problem.
