So talk to me about brake options for my 93 Civic EX. I am going to use it for autocross and track days. Can anyone talk me thru the OEM swap options and what parts I need. I think I will need Integra rear trailing arms right? Front should I use Accord calipers? From what I have read the 98-02 Accord brakes provide the pretty good stopping power and since I have a EX I think I just need the Accord brackets and calipers. But what about a rear setup? Integra, disc brake Civic rear? What master cylinder and booster would I need for all this?

I can't recall the upgrade setup, but it's probably all Integra stuff. Accord won't work as they're not 4x100 bolt pattern.

From my reading the Accord calipers will bolt on with Civic 10.3in rotors if you have an EX knuckle and the Accord bracket.

The "ITR" brake upgrade is a thing for the Fit and I bet it's the same for the EG.

it's really CRV brakes... But go poke around Fastbrakes and that will show you some of your options.

An easy bolt on big brake setup is to use integra (or 10.3" civic, which are rare) knuckles and integra type R calipers along with 2008 Mini Cooper 11" rotors.  It all bolts together perfectly and is about as big as you can fit under 15" wheels.   It is all cheap too.

CRV/ITR/Accord Wagon/Acura CL Calipers with Mini Cooper 280mm rotors and either ITR pads or TSX pads. You can get the calipers off any CRV in the junk yard 

For the rears, you can use the Integra/Civic Rear discs. For an upgraded rear setup you can go with ITR rear calipers (costly) and EP3 4x100 rotors. But a cheaper option would be to use RSX/EP3 rear calipers with the EP3 4x100 rotors. However you will need to bleed the caliper off the bracket and upside down. If you can score the ITR rear calipers they are much easier to bleed, but you'll also pay more for them.

I am not sure on the master cylinder part for non ABS cars. My integra already came with the 1in master and I retained ABS when I did the bifront and rear bigger brake swap.
