Brake Question: Swap both trailing arms, or leave it?
Ok my wheel cylinder was messed on one trailing arm, I had a set of EF arms mying around, so i swapped the whole thing. After swapping it, i realised the brake drum is smaller than what was originally on my EG civic.. so now im wondering will it affect braking alot if my passanger side is the EF drum and my drivers is my stock setup?
Should i swap both of them for the EF? or would that be less effective in braking.
thanks.

Umm...yes, if youre downgrading in the back, downgrade both sides. Uneven wear is not a good thing. You can find some used EG rears for dirt cheap though Im sure.

thanks
on the same topic, are wheel cylinders the same? I took out the ones from my stock EG drums and the ones from the EF drums, and they look identical on the outside etc, but is there any diff with internals?
