Just bought rear arms with discs, callipers, brake fluid hoses and handbrake cables from civic eg, del-sol, integra or ek civic.
The swap is easy job.
You just will need these objects.
Otherwise you can keep your civic suspension arms and just add the discs assembly, hoses and handbrake cables.
Good luck!

It will wise to swap EK4 proportioning valve for better braking balance if your ej9 has abs.
The part number for EK4 valves are:
46210-S04-811
46470-S10-E01

Definitely no!
Because they are completely different.
So you will need hoses from EG, EK, Del-Sol or Integra
As you can see in the picture the EK4 brake line hoses are the part number 4 and 5 and the ej9 for drum brakes are the part with number 3
The proportioning valve is the number 6
