Default Rear disc swap - brake line question

I'm buying my brake lines and was wondering which application do I need?

If everything I'm using is from a 91 CRX Si can I use the 90-93 Integra brake lines or do I have to get the 90-91 CRX Si lines?

The reason I ask is because Flamenco-T has the Integra lines in stock but not the CRX lines.

I'd like to say they are the same. I used integra lines on my 91 HB.

Well if you have a crx, why not use 90-91 crx si brake lines? That's what I used for my rex.

Either one will do the trick. These next two steps are critical for a successful rear disc conversion. Get a 10mm flare nut wrench. You'll strip your flare nuts if you don't. Use the existing compensator arms from your crx. An alignmernt shop wont be able to correct the toe in problem youll experience. I made both of these mistakes. PM me if you have anymore ?'s.

90-91 CRX SI, 90-93 Integra, and of course the 90-91 hatch SI and possibly the del sols will work bro.

Well I know I can use the CRX or Integra brake lines. But can I still use either one if I'm using CRX calipers? Or do I need to match the brake lines, calipers, discs, and trailing arms? Can I mix and match?

Integra compensator arms are longer than the civic/crx by about 1". Look at where the compensators arms mount to the frame. You'll notice they can be moved left or right. This changes toe in on rear tires.
Basically if you use Integra compensator arms, you're never gonna get the rear wheels straight.
They told me to get a kit to correct the problem. Luckily i had the old arms w/me at the alignment shop. BTW it cost more to install the existing comp arms,than the wheel alignment.

hey what up
the brake lines i used are s.s.braiaded and they were for a 91 crx si got the full kit front and back with hangers for 90 bucks out the door and they are d.o.t. legal
I dont see a problem using the teg lines
is your e-brake cables swapped out? they differ from dum brakes to disk.
also get some dot-4 brake fluid higher boiling point and its not a whole lot more to spend? any waygood luck let me know how it works.

Single Overhead Hamster Cage feed em the good cheese they like it haha.
