For '93 Civic DX. I know the rear trailing arm need to be replaced for any disc brake to work. So out of these options which will bolt on with the less amount of work? thanks for your inputs.
- 2000 si complete setup ready to bolt on with 1 inch master cylinder booster
- 99 si front and rear complete minus brake hoses with booster
- 99 gsr complete ready and bolt on with booster as well. $650

or should I get something else?

I just did a Complete 99 Si rear suspension swap onto my Hx....piece of cake. You will need the 99 Si brake lines. Plus, if you want your parking brake you will have to modify(I dont know if it is possible) your parking brake cables, or buy some for a 99-00 Si. You should also get a Si proportioning valve.

hxman.. you mean right now you don't have parking brakes???
btw.. how much did the swap cost you?

HXMan

Nope, no parking brakes....it sucks. I really do like them. I may be lazy and just take my car to a dealer to have some Si cables installed and adjusted.

Oh, I am not sure how much the brake swap cost me. I bought a wrecked Si for 4500....sold about 2000 worth of stuff.... I got an engine swap and brake swap for 2500. So I guess the brakes were free. he he he.

I spent about 100 on various fluids, cleaners, and tools for the brake swap. I probably didn't need all that but I had extra money laying around.

actually you don't need the trailing arm..just the spindle/rotor/caliper assembly...but it is much easier to swap the assembly as one...

Would there be any advantage in swaping out the lower control arms as well. I'm planning on doing the same conversion, but my lca's have no holes for a sway bar, can I swap in in the Si ones with no probs or are the measurments on it different. I can also get some from an integra if it is a problem.

Thats what I call a good deal!!!!

The Si and all other LCA's should be the same size. I am using my Hx LCAs in place of the Si lcas because they were bent from an accident.
