Hey guys,

What comes standard on a 1998 Honda civic as far as the brake setup goes. I'm looking to buy and replace them myself but I'm not sure what parts exactly to look for. I'm going to be purchasing a Haines Manual and referencing you guys while I do it, but how will I know what to buy if I don't know what kind of brakes I have. I believe the rear are Drums, and the front Rotors, but I'm not entirely sure. Whatever help you can offer would be greatly appreciated. I guess my real question is; how many of each should I buy? 2 rotors and 2 drums? 4 rotors? I'm a little confused.
Thanks,
T.

Front discs and rear drums, unless you have an SI. Then it's disc all around
