Re: will i need EF or DA stainless steel brake lines for my DA brakes on my EF? (93formula)
I ran 90-93 Integra front and rear discs on my 89 HF
I bought a stainless line kit for a 91 CRX Si.
I have only installed the rears but they seem to fit fine.
The Integra lines might be a little longer. The CRX ones seemed like they needed a tiny bit more, but they do fit fine.
Another thing to remember here is, I did not install the whole rear suspension from the DA. I only installed the spindles onto my CRX arms.
As for the fronts, the caliper on the DA is farther away from the center of the wheel than a CRX Si so the line on the front can actually be shorter.
Since I didn't know till I actually did it, I'll tell you since you might not know either. The fittings on the 4 wheel disc brakes are all the same. The lengths are probably different, which is causing there to be more than one stainless line kit.

I'll be doing this entire swap this weekend. I ordered DA lines. I've heard that the stock drum lines won't bolt up to the teg calipers......
will let you know for sure next monday

DA lines fo sho
Although for a 4 wheel brake swap I must admit I'm underwhelmed by the difference in performance. In fairness, I simultaneously swapped 16" wheels in place of the 13" steelies, and neglected to change the brake booster (used EX master cylinder & DA prop valve though).
And WOW is the alignment off now. I was scurred to even have it on the road. Wanders all over the place, I'm wondering if maybe a trailing arm isn't bent or something......it's being aligned right now, we'll see how it all pans out.
Rear discs sure look purdy though

Re: (mahatma)
alignment is a must because youve taken your whole suspension apart, theres no way it would have gone back in the same spots. let me know how it is after the alignment.
i picked up a set of brembo stopcheck x drilled rotors myself from the sponsors section.

Re: will i need EF or DA stainless steel brake lines for my DA brakes on my EF? (CRX Toad)
I have a question, I am putting DA front brakes (A-arm and everything) on my 88 HF crx and I just ordered the SS brake line kit that says its for 89-91 w/ rear drums, will this still work on the front brakes? I am wondering why it doesnt say 88-91 on the application chart.....is there something different about the 88 front brake lines?
