the problem is that i want to fit 17" wheels and the drum wheel has to be changed to dics brakes or it will fade from braking. In other words in wont handle it!
And i couldnt find any drum to disc conversion kit for the 2001 civic coupe, so what can i do? should i custum design one for my car? If yes where to go and how much will it cost me?
I am too confused! I need help (proffesional help)

I never done this, but I would recomend going to a Car customization shop and asking them.
It should prob cost around 100-200??

i found this AEM big rotor kit that fits my car and can work the OE calipers, but i cant buy them unless i am sure there is a conversion kit for the rear brakes, which AEM didnt do yet since 2001 and we are in 2002 so i am expecting they will do that next year, which a long time.
do you mena they will do it for me from 100-200 USD, but the rotor itself costs about 420 USD without calipers!!!!!

Your best bet here is to investigate the Acura RSX conversion in the rear.
These cars share the same suspension pinnings and just like in the old days where you can easily swap the older del Sol discs onto any 5-6th gen Civic should still apply here between the RSX and the new Si.
This will not be cheap though being that you will need the trailing arms and all the components realted to the brake system, including possibly a custom cabled parking brake.
I will copy this to the Civic and RSX forum so maybe they can also direct you
