Ummm... Where did your rear brakes go? I'm pretty sure the EX came with disks all around.

I think he's confused, but if you have the (dx,lx) you could get rear brake parts from an same year EX. And still keep the 4x114.3

First things first, i am an aprentice mechanic. Now i know im learning.... BUUT
my accord that is sitting in front of my house Was manufactured in america,
the 6th month of 1997. has drum rear brakes and the tag stamped on the
Engine next to the exhaust reads quite clearly because i keep the car SPOTLESS
says F22B2.. its registered and was sold as a 97 EX. my grandma bought it in early
1998 from the honda dealer with like 100 clicks on it. has never been in an accident,
it only has 86,000 km's on it and was stored in a temperature controlled garage...
(i can thank my grandpa for that)

soooo would a dx or lx really be the disc'd version? and should i just measure it up go to pick a part then try it out???

Do you have any extra features? like a sunroof, im pretty sure your model is the LX. The middle of the bunch, DX having no special features, like power windows/locks,sunroof etc.

Edit: Noticed that your from canada too, and that you have a four door saloon. So that winds it down to either LX or EX.
