3rd Gen FWD wagon brake upgrade options?

I have searched this section and found the information for 4th gen, but I have a 3rd gen.
I have found this for 3rd gen civics (not wagons) on redpepperracing: http://www.redpepperracing.com/wiki/index.php?title=Big_Brake_Upgrade
But will this work for wagon? As far as I know the brakes on wagon are different, please correct me if I am wrong. What are the swap options for 3rd gen FWD wagons?

    Welcome to our site.Always good to see members from around the world.

    As for that link you mentioned that's for the 4g also.

    I couldn't find the posting.
    The nice thing about the 3g is if I remember right is a lot of the 1g Integra('85-'89) parts will fit the 3g wgn. like brakes,suspension & eng.Do you have Integras in the Ukraine?That's where you should start the search.

    You'll need to check all the following since it's been too long since I modded 3g Civics.Following Integra(Teg) 1g(85-89) parts should bolt on your 3g Wgn.Front rotor/caliper & rear axle along with sway bar rear disc(using your civic axle tube) .4g 4WD Wgn. frt rotor/caliper fits has same size or bigger piston & bigger pads.

    Too bad you have a 1.4 carb otherwise the 1g teg fuel injected motor will fit.Maybe you can get a Euro 1g teg carb motor.
    Tip: If you do do the 4 wheel disc upgrade be sure to get the 4 whl disc proportioning valve from the teg too.

    Thanks a lot! This pretty much answers all of my questions. I had a gut feeling on the integra from the diagrams that I ran into, going through the parts catalogs, my doubt was about whether the whole rear axle should be replaced to retain the integra's rear sway bar.
    And, of course I was hoping for more modern options ) but teg1 will work I guess.
