hello so this is the first thing i ever write on a forum before and so im really new to this lol just thought id throw that out there

but anyways i have a rear si rotor conversion on my eg8 and the ebrake cable is acting up on me and , according to the honda dealer the civic si's here in canada didnt have rotors in the back only drums so i cant get it from the dealer so my question is .. could i use an integra ebrake cable on my eg8 with a civic rotor conversion ?

Yes you can. I have the cables off a 1996 Integra Type R on my rear disc conversion on my EG8.

X2 pretty much what he just said.

they will hold but not as good as the correct cables.

i always leave my car in gear.

just to add a little to this thread, the dealer must have been up on something because I live in Canada aswell, and my civic si has rear disc brakes, and is originally from NS, Canada.. don't want any ridiculous information floating around out there. My SI is also stock except for a recent short ram and dynomax muffler
