project brakes
I'm currently working on a project. I have a 96 civic ex and a 92 acura Integra ls. I'm putting the ls motor and tranny in the civic, but will the rear discs and trail arms work on my civic or will I have to use the trail arms from my civic and the discs from the Integra? Any info will help. Thanks.

Re: project brakes
Thanks for the link. I did find that already, but to me it just wasn't clear if I could just take the whole disc assembly with the trailing arm of the teg and bolt it onto the civic.

REAR BRAKES OF YOUR 96-00 CIVIC
All but the OEM drums are considered upgrades because…I can't find any OEM larger drums that will bolt onto a civic. Even if I did, you'd still have to unbolt the drum spindle, so it’s just as much of a pain in the ***, if not more so, because most disc swaps…people swap the whole trailing arm. You may debate whether or not drums stop better than discs, but on a Civic, yes; discs ARE better at stopping you. Drums may last longer, but were interested in smaller 60-0 distances.

Re: project brakes
Common Interchangeability questions:
*When doing a rear disc conversion on an EK, you ONLY need the spindle, NOT the whole trailing arm. The spindle is held on by four T50 torx bolts and one 24mm bolt on all EF, EG, EK, DA, and DC chassis. Yes, the Torx bolts are hard to get out, and torque hard.
*88-00 Civic and 90-01 Integra Trailing arms are all interchangeable; all but the center bushing is the same.
*On an EK, use your stock LCAs, UCAs, and compensator arms or you will affect suspension geometry.
