NO.

well, r/t and srt-4 cables are the same, but if you have rear drum brakes (se, and sxt) then they are not the same. If you are planning on doing a drum to disc conversion you will need r/t or srt-4 cables.

no no no!

you're talking about two different things!

The steel braided brake lines you speak of are exactly that. Brake lines. They have fluid in them.

Your first question was about brake cables. Those attach to the parking brake lever.

buy some r/t cables from www.rockauto.com (they'll be new, but they're only like $75 for both sides)

I got my steel braided lines off ebay for $90 (all four wheels with shipping)

Any rear disc set up 2gn will have the cables you need

At the pick and pull near me is an ATx 2gn with rear disc

Nick and I saw that one Friday.

I know that with civics some people took disc brakes from integras, or even accords with larger setups in the back.

I'm not sure, but you could MAYBE get a larger rear disc setup from a stratus or intrepid. I was hanging out with my friend yesterday, and found out that his '02 stratus has rear disc brakes...
