You can only get rear disks from 1989 Accord SE-is.

You might as well do the LX-i/SE-i front brake upgrade while you're at it.

you have to do the LX-i / SE-i front conversion, the hydraulic pressure will be unbalanced without the upgraded Master cylinder and the larger fronts.

i dont think it will affect it that much...russiankid has a regular master cylinder and he still stops fine

i thought he upgraded the front too

i had issues with the brake pressure when i converted my 87 hatch to the larger 88-89 fronts. After installing the knuckle and brakes, i bled the brakes. Went down the street and the petal went almost too the floor. I went and got the 88-89 MC that night , installed it and it was fine.

i dunno about having the rear discs with the smaller 86-87 front brakes, still i would upgrade the MC and fronts.

There are dual piston calipers available. The New Zealand guys typically have a set laying around.
