Some Civics came with rear discs (EX?)

You'd need the parking brake cables, proportioning valve, discs, backing
plates, mount brackets, calipers, new flex lines, etc., and maybe even the
trailing arms and wheel bearings

I would not advise the swap. You will get no better braking and a LOT more
maintenance issues. Stick with drums. They don't look as cool in between
the spokes of your $400 wheels, but they are better than discs in practice.
