Hello Everyone
I have an 2001 Facelift EJ9 1.4L im from the EastMidlands UK
i am planning to drop a standard b18c into it this summer to use as a daily car but i have some questions to ask about brakes before i waste my money buying the wrong parts. i have looked through loads of threads with brake charts but i carnt really understand clearly what i need because i am not 100% sure that my 2001 comes under the same cat as the 96-00 civic and weather it is a DX,CX,LX or whatever x i dont know lol
It has 262mm discs (Which is the same as an ek4?) 4x100 on the front and drums on the back with 15" standard honda alloys . I am planning to change the front and back brakes so the car is sort of ready for when i put the new engine in but i want to keep the 4x100 PCD if that is ok and the right thing to do?. but for now i just want to get the front brakes sorted and then move onto the back when i have sourced the parts.
OK am i correct in saying that i can use the following setup which will bolt straight on with no modifications no grinding or bodging anything?
i am sorry if this has been asked a million times on this forum i just did not want to waste my money on things i didnt need. it would be nice to have something that is just a straight swap onto my facelift 2001. im not expecting someone the reserch this for me i was just hoping that some off you veterans would be able to just answer my question for me from years and years of experience lol.
Thanks..

- Accord Type r Front Calipers? twin pots (If so does it matter what year?)
- EK9 or 98 DC2 or Prelude Carriers? (If so does the ek9 need to be a facelift and does the prelude have to be a certain year aswell??)
- 282mm Mg Zs Discs
- Cl rc6 Fron Pads
- Ek9 (Again Facelift/PreFacelift)?? 1" Master Cylinder (Will this bolt straight onto my servo)
- Do i need to change my brake lines?? if so what too??
- Do i need to change the prop valve??
- Finnaly will this all fit under my 15" standard honda alloys
