Misinformed...need help

Ok, i have an acura 1.7EL (which u guys don't have)
it's basically a civic sedan ex (127hp d17), with 4 disc brakes...

a few months ago, i purchased some brembo cross drilled/slotted rotors and some hawk hps pads...front and rear

the front one's fit perfectly no problem...

but the rear one's (i got the civic si one's) they were too small...same with the brake pads....

i tried to attempt to install it today with no luck...the diameter of the brembo's were 9.5", while the diameter of the rear disc was 10.2"....does any civic model for the states have 4 disc brakes?

just the si's as far as i know, but when you say si ones do you mean the EP3? btw i hate how the US and Canadian civics are the same but with different names why cant it just have the same names i.e. EX,LX,DX and so forth
