Re: ek rear disc conversion
1. Complete DC2 or Civic EM1 rear trailing arms w/ Calipers, rotors, and ebrake mechanism. You can use ur stock TA and just move the components over, but i've found it to be much easier to swap complete trailing arms.
2. Civic SI EM1 ebrake cable for a no fuss fitment. I personally use the DC2 cable, but it was a pita to get it right.

You can use pretty much a DC Integra or Civic Si 99-00. They will be an easy bolt on. Just remember when you use the DC Integra you will have to add a spacer or washer for the lower end of the struts. Other then that it is a direct bolt on

I dont know who told you that but this is incorrect. Im running DC trailing arms in my car and no washer/spacer was needed.

ex trailing arms?? EX uses Drums anyways SI or 94-01 Integra Trailing arms tegs are much easier to find since more of those go to the junk yard a 40/40 prop valve non abs and Si Ebrake lines

Re: ek rear disc conversion
Also, depending on how "complete" the trailing arms are, you might have to get more stuff.
The GSR ta's I got from somebody had cut the brake lines, so I had to buy new ones. Pretty cheap, but still.
Don't forget Brake Fluid lolololol

Re: ek rear disc conversion
For the sake of simplicity, you just need the complete trailing arms from a dc teg or em1 civic along with the ebrake cable. You can reuse your rear upper and lower arms from your ek civic.

Re: ek rear disc conversion
ive always wanted to try this:

it seems pretty straight forward and you dont need to pull your whole trailing arm off. its also pretty cheap
edit: i had a 99ek and sold it and got a 93 si so i have rear disks now. that why i never did it

Re: ek rear disc conversion
You don't "have to" remove the whole trailing arm to do the swap; its just easier to swap the whole trailing arm vs individual components. Swapping the spindles would be be a cinch if not for those torx bolts.

Re: ek rear disc conversion
So many inquires on rear disk swaps....i hope everyojne realizes that no performace will be added, just a bit more weight and of coarse time and money spent
