Fit Brake swap question

Hi everyone!

I'm an owner of an EK hatch with an SIR full conversion. I'm really interested in buying a fit, not so much for its looks but more for the potential of a cheap, light weight racer possibly with a K-series swap. So here's the question.

Can DC brake swap be performed on the fit? (front and back) including brake booster, master cylinder, the works. I mean, can the fit be a good recipient of donor parts from a DC5R or DC5?

One guy has installed the rear disks from a DC5 on his Fit, he said it wasn't a direct bolt on.

He talks about it somewhere it that thread.

I think the front brakes of the Fit is same as the Civic 99-00 Si but the rear I think you have to modify the spindles to adapt the rear discs. IMO the biggest issue might be E-brake cable.
