pls add "90 EXi 2/4 door AT/MT" to your signature
you mean rear disc brakes. VTEC and displacement have nothing to do with them. Search the DIY's and I'm pretty sure that you'll find an answer. Fix the sig and more people will post comments. Good luck!

I don't know the rotor/pad surface sizes. I don't see why you couldn't get it to work if it mounts up the same way. If your intent is to improve stopping power, get front slotted rotors (good quality only) and some Hawk HPS or EBC Redstuff pads. If you still need more, do the rear conversion. Also remember that shocks and swaybars will make the system more effective by keeping the weight distributed properly and tires tighter to the road.

The 2.2vtec has 282 diamter in front and 260 rear, the same as 2.2 accord :)

If the mounting holes are the same and there's nothing too close to cause a conflict, i don't see why you couldn't do this swap. Search to see if it's been done before you do it. I'm yet to see a DIY swap that hasn't been written up if it's possible .... and it's not like an 08 where there hasn't been time for tuners to play with the car. Post a DIY if you do it ..... include pics with notes for others to use.

I'd like to know why you say you have a 2.0 engine in your 1990 accord. All Accords went up to 2.2 liter for the 1990-1993 model years
