Honda Civic EG (1992-1995) and Civic del Sol (1993-1997): Brakes mods
Added · Updated
What are the best brakes mods for the Honda Civic EG (1992-1995) and Civic del Sol (1993-1997)?
It depends on the car’s condition and how you use it. These are the 2 brakes build entries we have sourced for this car: EG rear disc conversion with factory trailing arms (Limited); Larger 10.3-inch front brakes on an EG (Limited). Each lists caveats, related problems and sources so you can match it to your goal.
EG rear disc conversion with factory trailing arms Limited
Swap the complete rear disc trailing arms from a del Sol Si/VTEC, 92-95 Si, Integra or 99-00 Si, plus matching lines and disc parking-brake cables; most sources add a four-wheel-disc proportioning valve or master cylinder.
Caveats: Forum-sourced; safety-critical; bleed and test before driving.
Parts: OEM rear disc brake on its trailing arm (hub, caliper, rotor 42510-SR3-A11) from a Civic del Sol Si / VTEC, Integra (1994+) non-ABS brake master cylinder and booster

Larger 10.3-inch front brakes on an EG Limited
A forum write-up and a fan site say the 10.3 in. Integra / EX-size front brakes bolt to EX and Si knuckles as a set; DX-type knuckles need either an EX knuckle swap or machining.
Caveats: Sources conflict on DX knuckles (F-eg-18) and on whether the del Sol VTEC rotor is 10.3 or 10.44 in. (F-eg-17).
Parts: OEM larger front brakes (rotor, caliper and bracket; 10.3 or 10.44 in. by source) from a Civic del Sol VTEC (1994-97), Integra / Civic EX-size 10.3 in. front rotor, caliper and bracket set (non-Type R)
