Just get the one for year of the car you have without ABS.

Unless you are trying to upgrade your braking system there is no reason to change to a different model.

Your car did not come with ABS. It's a base model, you're lucky to have EFI with how the OZ Civics are.

I personally would stick to OEM, but yes that is the correct one.

i just purchase my civic a month ago. change the engine oil,filter,gear and brake oil by myself. now the master cylinder got problem so need to change. OEM is not within my budget as i still a student. next thing need to be change is my timing belt. is this the correct timing belt kit ? http://www.partsgeek.com/ss/?ssq=timing+belt+D16y4&make=honda&model=civic&year=1996&page=3 1996 Honda Civic Timing Belt Kit - Airtex AWK1228 thank you :D

Save your pennies and buy an OEM timing belt, or a Gates, you don't want to risk your engine on a shoddy aftermarket one.

If your on a tight budget you can find quite a few wrecks with the right sizing for you. Gli usually has the 15/16" and if need if your brake booster is leaking it should have a sticker that says 260v. 290v is 1" bb & bmc. but bmc if i can see your in syd call up mekong auto spare. They'll get you oem parts cheaper than dealer if shipping isn't your thing. gl !
