they should be, same rotor and caliper size. pads might be a lil different, and lines might be ~2mm short.
why do you need to change the whole rear hub?

yes i do, would do you recommend or should i source for EK4 hubs or other alternative, reason why is EK4 hubs are hard to find.

Thanks Regard Van.

your talking about the rear hubs right? if your wanting to change the bearings, just get the bearing not the whole hub. whats wrong with your current hubs?

yes the rear hub, originally i needed to change the bearing but i was later told by my mechanic that i would need to change the whole thing meaning the hub. My current hub is making very loud noise when traveling above 40km and he says the bearing looks like it can lock anytime cause its in bad condition. (i was aware of the noise 3 months ago but it got worse wasnt sure what it was until recently).

cause im having trouble sourcing ABS Disc brake EK4, alot of them dont have ABS would integra vti-r hubs replace civic vti-r hubs or i need to source EK4 hubs?

Thanks Regards Van.

ek sedan has the same brakes as the ek4's

ek1 hatch are the smallest brakes and drum on the rear
ek1 sedan brakes = ek4 hatch brakes
em1 fronts=ek4 fronts
em1 rears are larger then ek4 rears

EK sedan as in model from 1996-1998 (pre-facelift) or 1999-2000 (facelift), or doesnt matter which model since they have same brakes?
