I could swear this is AEM but Google is failing me.

 

Anyway, need to source rotors for this.  It's one of those big rotor kits that used the OE calipers, or in this case the rear used OE calipers with a caliper mount... which is where the problem is: we can't just de-convert to OE brakes.

 

 

Looks like a standard 8x7" rotor bolt pattern, but I have never seen 2 piece rotors with a dish on the rotor like that, so I assume these are one-offs made for whoever sold the kit.

 

For completeness sake, the rear caliper mount and the front brakes as mounted on the car.

These are all AEM rotors and I believe ALL for Honda Civics:

Lovely.  AEM doesn't make them anymore.  And of course, since this was a drum brake car, putting OE brakes on it will entail a call to LKQ to try to find some A frames with drums/hubs attached since it is doubtful that Honda still sells backing plates for 20 year old Civics.  Or... a call to LKQ to find some Integra or Civic Si A-frames if rear disks are to remain.

 

Mind you, I'm of the opinion that light front drivers should have drum brakes in the rear because drums don't turn to rust in six months.... let alone putting large diameter rotors on the rear... but ain't my car, I just have to make it work again.

I wouldnt be surprised if honda sold the backing plates stil if you wanted to go that route.  They seem to be really good at offering OEM parts for older chassis.

Surely someone else makes a rear disk conversion kit if that's what the owner wants.

This is why I used OE parts for the truck. That way I can go to any parts store and get pads, rotors and calipers all day every day.
