Re: rear disc upgrade worth it?

might as well get them off a pre-98 SE (cheaper then SVT's)

and plus, doubt they'll fit, The rotors off contours are 4x108, zx2s are 4x100

check out honda kits.

Re: rear disc upgrade worth it?

i dunno about pre 98... those are prior to the body change isnt it... i couldnt say about the suspension... and how much it changed. my car is running on 15's ( they +1ed i think from the prior years) they might fit... i almost bet altec would know.

Re: rear disc upgrade worth it?

pre 98 suspension is the same an post 98 SVT.

what do you mean "prior to body change"? bodys never changed on contours, headlights/tailights did.

SVT's come with 16s, so they might not fit, which is why i said pre-98 SE (they came factory with 15s).
