The one with the pop up headlights not sure on the year
If you take the whole knuckle hub assembly with you you should be able to confirm fitment from measurements.
You don't have to upgrade the booster but I did to a civic one,I took the old one along and went thru the rack until I found one with the same bolts and centers fairly easy process really.
You asking me about wheels anthrax? My ones are work equip's 15x7 -16 offset 4x100 pcd

Yeah first of the Integra's. Not sure if all use the same front disk but i think theres a SI version down the wreckers here, i'll go for a look sometime. 3G has also done this setup on his T1.

I spent a day at pick apart today where they had 2 e citys and spent an hour taking the brakes off a 94 civic hatch and putting them on on the city and they fit well! Just needed a 6mm spacer under the disk to push it out abit.dont know if its legal or not though ?

As long as the centering ring still supports the disk & wheel & the flat head tappered screws are long enough to tighten the disk assembly then spacers will be fine as long as you still have a sufficient amount of bolt sitting out to bolt the wheel on safely but you are referring the disks fit N/A City's? If so just remember T2's use a different hub than other citys & caliper spacing/off-sets are likely to be different, all the City-E City's i've owned have had the larger caliper bolt spacing on their hubs & City-R's use the smaller spacing which i think is the same as T1's but i have not checked that to be certain.

Rear discs would be good,I'm pretty sure the drums do nothing at all

You have to remember these are very light cars & the drum breaks which are more than sufficient for the weight of the car would have been used to give a good brake bias between the front & rear as disks on the rear may have caused the rear to lock up easily under heavier braking or normal use while going around a bend which would be unsafe, but yeah disks would be better for most turbo city enthusiasts.

My one still stops pretty good with 200kw on upgraded fronts and basically non existent rears

I had a dredge through some old information I had stored away.

These came up.

Please note I can't verify the accuracy of these comments.

Referenced in a post about front brake pads.

Charles wrote:Use early 86-88 prelude rear disks, almost bolt straight on. You will need to deal with the handbrake cable issue so you might want to grab them off the prelude as well. If you live in NZ get the rear brakes off the 86 civic Si.

The front brakes are off the civic Si/84-86 prelude.

Was that last one talking about rear prelude brakes refering to a rear upgrade? Or putting the rears on the front :p
