Which 5g Civic Si's have ABS brakes?

Was it only an option on 94-95? If so, 92-93 are all non-ABS?

yeah, i'm in agreement with CivicSpoon, all the brake things online have shown rotors for 92-93 civic si, although those are the same as 94-95 non-abs si....they also show an option for 94-95 si w/ abs


what's the deal?

Since I saw a lot of confusion over which 92-95 Civics hjave ABS, I'll asnwer it.

The 92-95 LX and EX sedan and coupe with 4 wheel disc brakes had ABS, the LX and EX with drums did not. Also, the 94-95 Si hatch had ABS, I know the 92 Hatch did not (it still has discs) I can't remember if the 93 Si hatch has ABS.

Too make it simple. If it's a civic and it's not an Si hatch from 92 and/or maybe 93 and it came from the factory with discs, it has ABS.

As stated above, the LX, EX both had an option for discs and ABS, though some came non-abs with drums. It they came with discs, they have ABS, it they have drums, they do not.

All Si hatchas have discs, though not all have ABS. The 94-95 Si hatchs had ABS as an option, 93 may have too.

I hope this clarifies it a bit.

How about 1996-2000 civics? I have a 1996 civic EX, that has front discs and rear drums. Not sure if it has ABS or not.

I have a 96 civic SR (which I think is the same as the EX) and it does have ABS. Does an orange ABS warning light come on just below the tachometer when you turn the ignition on?

like eckoman said, "it (i know he was meaning "if", but im quoting here, lol) they came with discs, they have ABS, it they have drums, they do not". so to answer your question.....Your EX does not have ABS. i think that was one mistake i made when purchasing my EX, i went without ABS, i shouldve gotten the ABS on mine. hey, does anyone know if i do a rear break swap from drums to disc, would that consider my car to have ABS?....or would i have to do something else to it to have ABS?

Hang on a minute... I have rear drums with front discs, but still have ABS. Surely then, the existence of drums does not preclude the existence of ABS. Unless of course you mean 4 wheel drums! :)

just because u have disk brakes all around doesnt mean you have abs. my friends si has disk brakes but no abs.

To correct all the misunderstandings surrounding my post...This is for 92-95 USMD Honda Civics...(with the expection of the 92-95 SI hatch, where the 92-93 hatch Si had 4 wheel disc and no ABS, but ABS was offered in 94-95)...now,with that expoection in mind...IF you have disks, it's ABS, drums it's not. This comment holds true for 92-95 civics. I did not say it holds true for the 96-00, as I havce not researched 96-00, so I can't comment on that as of yet. I do know that if your 92-95 has drum, it does not have ABS. 92-95 Civics had to have 4 wheel disks came with ABS in 92-95 civics. Also, this holds true for USDM cars, I do not know if it holds true in other countries. So, this is for 92-95 USDM civics.

Another way to tell is to pop the hood and look under it, you'll see the ABS stuff under there.
